$41? I'll stick with making my friends hold it.

 

I thought for a second there that I would be buying a new girl/passenger!!

 

It is a custom job....wouldn't you want to make a profit on it too if you had to make it yourself? The reg price is 10 bucks more. It's not that much. I've spent a lot more on smaller parts and we all know what a nice thing to have this would be.

 

Dude,

Save your money! Buy this cup holder(2) from ebay for $5 ea. and make your own bracket...I did. It was easy!

...$40 bucks for a cup holder...it better come with 2 cases of beer(or RedBull)....

 

I agree that while $41 seems high for a cup-holder, that product is 10x the quality of the e-bay POS. FWIW, those collapsible cupholders sell at Griot's for $25. without shipping.

I don't think it's a bad deal.

 

$41 for a cup holder. are u insane?
what is it made out of?

hey how much does it weight?
cuase i dont want to go a .00000001 slower in 1/4

 

That's why I became anorexic.

 

I think it's insane when people spend over $1000 to replace their perfectly good front bumper with an aftermarket FIBERGLASS bumper. It's all what is important to you. To people who need a cupholder and don't want to get a $5 POS from Walmart and don't want to spend the time fabbing a bracket just to save $15, it may be acceptable.

 

I don't drink in either my FC or the FD so I wouldnt want one anyway, but 41 dollars...damn.

 

Good grief people.....people spend over 100 bucks for a damn ashtray that has padding too. Either you want one or ya don't. I was trying to see if anyone was interested.

 

I've had one for about a year - the thing is awesome. Yeah the price seems steep but you get what you pay for - those ebay cupholders were crap, Marc's is worth the dough.

It's really amuses me sometimes the things that really get the bandwagon rolling on this forum - automatics, V-8's, cupholders...

 

Only if it can hold a Big Gulp.

Really, we are driving sports cars, and everyone knows that REAL sports cars don't have cupholders.

BTW, I think $41 is a pretty good deal. I can buy one from BMW that fits my motorcycle for ONLY $120.00!

If I EVER seen ANYONE drinking ANYTHING in their FD3S I will them, them, them, them and then and on them!

DRIVE damit!

 

When you drive a fd, you drive with the left hand, shift with the right, no time to drink.

 

hahaha..i made my own..same one too..cost me like 20 bucks..lol

 

U learn to drive different when ur thirsty. Left hand shifts, right hand holds drink, knees steer, simple....Either that or jam the cup between me, the back of the seat and the door.

 

Ok I've only heard excellent reports from people who have bought these.....anyone other than series7 interested...only 8 more to go

 

then how do you hold the clutch to switch gears if you stear with knees... and then hold the gas at the same time... if your ina turn your screwed...

 

thos cup holders on that website is actually a cupholer from garretsgarage dot com? somewhere like that i have the reciept at home. all you have to do is buy the cupholder and i believe its about 20 bucks aftershipping. after you get the piece just go to orchard or home depot and buy 1 foot of aluminum strip. its about 2 inches wide i think. well after you have that all you have to do is bend the aluminum and either bolt or glue down. i glued down mine with some weather stripping. save yourself 20 bucks and get creative

ps when fat people ride in your car, your going to make them hold your drink.

 

The only time I desire a cupholder is when I get some cofee before school. I don't drink it in the car, but I need someplace to put it. The cupholder looks good, but I wouldn't spend that much right now. I will probably end up making one before too long. Once I remove the power steering I know there is no way I'm gonna hold a cup of cofee and try to steer out of a parking lot.

 

Neither of my cars has a cup holder and I kind of like it that way. I never eat or drink in my FD, and its race when I do in my Z. Cupholders (especially that one) make interiors look cheap IMO.

 

Anyone who needs a cupholder in a FD is:
1) Ready for a retirement home
2) Ready for a mini-van instead
3) probably one of those people who clog up the passing lanes.
To each their own, but get real. Put that money towards a holder for your power fc instead and concentrate on driving a performance vehicle in a performance manner. Sorry, but that tops any cheesy or ricey thing you could do.

 

What's up with the attitudes against a cupholder?

Some of us use their FDs as daily drivers. Sometimes I like to go grab some fricking Wendy's for lunch and don't care for sticking my drink in my crotch. I don't drive like I'm on the track just to go get a value meal for christ's sake!

When I go out for pleasure driving, of course I'm not going to have a damn drink in the car. You people need to relax! And for all those drink naysayers, how many of you carry a goddamned cell phone in the car?????

ok, rant over.

 

Cupholders would be a nice luxury...but learn to drive stick with 1 hand, its not that hard.

 

no man thats different, getting a after market kit, makes you feel your car stands up amongst others, when i put side front and back bodykit for my '02 eclipse i got more responses from public. it just made me feel better about the car. and the car looks much better. FDs with nice kits look alot better than stock ones.
