As many of you know, projects like ours are never done. In my case, I've been looking into adding a pair cup holders since we plan on a fair amount of long drives. Besides, what kind of grand tourer these days doesn't have cup holders?

There Aren't a ton of options for them in our car. The door panels are already done, so we can't put any in the doors, which might have looked weird anyway. The center console doesn't allow a ton of space either, and these: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1838139 might get in the way of the driver's arm.

Today, I think I may have stumbled on the perfect solution. The setup I just discovered does not require modification, and is removable so it won't get in the way for track events. It can also be placed in a number of spots thanks to the nature of the product. Here is a picture of the cup holder set up I just found:

Cool isn't it? I was thinking if I could use some of that aluminum duct-tape it would match the console insert, as well as the a/c bezels, and look right at home. Let me know what you guys think. If enough people like it I might be able to get a group buy together.

:rofl: :rofl: I was joking around about those old cup holder that hang from the door panel the other day for my car. I guess it's not pro touring without at least one cup holder. :rolleyes:

Matt! Great find!

If I ordered 2 pair... because I have the back seat in the Nomad so would like to have a set for the passengers too... would there be free shipping? I'm sure these would work fine attached to the back of the front seat! :thumbsup:

I'm not sure, I will have to contact homedep...I mean my supplier. If Todd is in for a set too (and I hope he knows a deal when he sees it. Because these are far superior to the window cup holders), then maybe I can swing free shipping. Now, if you don't mind waiting, and Steve Rupp lets me give him a set for a Camaro Performers product showcase article then maybe, just maybe, there will be enough readership interest to give everyone a serious discount, and I mean a significant one, not 10 percent. It would likely be so good that I wouldn't be able to publicly advertise the price without receiving a scolding from my supplier.

I called a guy I know at Waste Management and showed him your product. He thinks he might be able to do a contract fulfillment agreement with "drop" shipping for you. That would cut your landed cost!

I'll wait until someone does one of these in billet and I'll be all over it!

Sweet... you know Best of Show has a lathe now, and I don't think the Brotourer has been busy lately, either...hmm. Also Would anyone be interested in a fake carbon fiber option?

Additionally, I came across some new swaybar technology. I'm thinking of replacing my splined swaybar with a new, "locking" one.

You mean the new Double-Locking one don't you ? The older Single-Locking version just didn't have the needed bling IMO.... And if you polished those locks - WOW !

:rofl:
