Default Grrr at Cup Holders

It's been bugging me for some time now. It seems like whenever I have a bottle of water, gatorade, soda, or whatever I'd rather throw it on the floor instead of drive with it in the cupholder.







3-D COMPUTER MODEL Anyways, came up with an idea and decided to make my life easier. It's a hell of a lot better on your wrists ergonomically and features a removable holster for when you have passengers. Hope you enjoy. I originally wanted an aluminum casing for the boot, but the console has a curved surface, so pricing was a little high in that area. Went with ABS plastic instead.



PRIMER APPLIED - RAPID PROTOTYPE ABS PARTS



FINISHED ASSEMBLY







Plastic part available in flat black paint or primer that either fastens with screws or glue. The holster can be customized with your name, initials, or any idea instead of the horse. This is a unique part for your mustang and has to be machine made and hand finished. Expect about 2-3 weeks before shipping. Total Price for each is $250.00 + S&H. PM if you're interested in one, thanks.

wow, great work man. very impressive, i love the concept. looks like alot of work and even though it may be worth $250 I think i'll just keep tossing my bottles on the passenger seat.

Have you tried removing the false rubber bottom from the rear cupholder?

This was my first thought as well. I never have this problem as a 12oz. beer can fits perfectly in the front holder. $250? That's a lot to pay just for holding a lousy drink.

You probably shouldn't be condoning this kind of stuff.

As for the Cup holder, cool idea but a bit steep on the price for me. Plus I'm Automatic. (I sometimes with I were manual...)
