haha I don't think the option to have it stay cool would be in there. But I have thought of being able to have a little change or cell or something holder back behind the cup holders. Once I get sometime I will start working on it.

I will update everyone as I make progress

Here's a sample of the one I made which I'm going to start producing. Each one is made by hand and sewn and wrapped by me so I had to modify the original design to minimize labor



This is the final product



showing it with car in reverse with no clearance issues. My bushings aren't worn so not sure if there will be issues if there is excessive play in your shifter.

This was the sample I made which is why it looks loose and and has seams on the corners it was to mock it up in the car but the final product looks like the first picture now.

The one in the picture is wrapped but hasn't been glued down since it is over my master template which I'm going to use as a jig to prefab the panels for the rest.

The front corners are rounded and the side wrap material will end up being one piece rather than 3 sewn together.

I want/need one.

EDIT: Just saw the for sale ad

If the other poster in this thread has somewhat given up on this project I am interested in seeing what I can come up with. I would make a mold and then vacuum form the plastic and back will with foam. I have been thinking about it for a couple weeks now and I believe it is very doable. I am a school teacher and the year gets out next week so I will see what I can come up with after that.

Sorry I haven't provided an update as I was busy launching a new website.

The computer model for the cupholder will be completed soon and a rapid prototype made for me to test fit.

Once that is done I will either have the unit vacuum formed or injection molded for production.

I'll post up images once I approve the final design.

We went from having no cup holders available to now there's going to be a bunch. That should to drive prices down dramatically.

You should patent it and then never do anything with it so nobody can ever have them..

By the way SFGadgetguy is the man. He says he's going to do something and shortly after it gets done. Good job sir. Your product looks really nice and classy too.

[ftowntrash]

Well if I can find somebody who will mass produce them it would be a different story

dreamer, besides what your thinking about making is already made so your a little too late.
