I've been looking for cup holders since I got the car and haven't found what I am looking for yet. It's hard to tell by the picture and thought someone might be able to answer a question about it.

I am interested in the double holder but me and my wife mainly use 32 oz plastic cups from places like McDonalds. These are usually downsized at the bottom of the cup to fit in the same holder as a 12 oz can or 20 oz bottle. Will these holders work with those type of cups and hold them deep enough that they don't easily tip and spill into the floor? Does the double holder have sufficient room between the holders to keep 2 of these cups in place at the same time?

Don't want to spend that much on a holder that won't work, just to throw it away. If it fits these properly, I'll be ordering one right away.

Thanks in advance.

I've had a single for a few years now.

They are easy to put in and take out.

The missus has never said anything about it getting in the way. I've ridden a few times and was not bothered by it.

I usually have a 20oz insulated cup (with lid) in the car. It fits perfectly.

I have 'em. Although from another source, I can tell you this is the absolute best cup holder you can get! Important as it sits on the "wife's" side of the car and in her footwell, she say's it's not obtrusive at all. Also, still reachable from "my side" to grab my travel coffee cup in the mornings on the way to work and the other one my miscellaneous junk.

Get one, you won't regret it.

Hmm! Not so sure I agree. I've had a double for a while now, and do find it somewhat intrusive. Also, its a bit of a reach for the driver. On the positive side, I painted mine to match my interior, and it came out perfect. I use one spot to store my sunglasses and the other for passenger drinks. It installs in a heartbeat so its easy to remove if the passenger wants more wiggle room.

Thank you.
The shifter boot and **** are from Vette Essentials.

The passenger side air vents are covered by those "comfy covers". I got them at the same time as the cup holder.

I have one of these in my car and LOVE it. I can fit the large McDonalds cups in no problem. Sometimes the people at the drive up are in shock. They ask if I need a cup holder and I tell them no as these large drinks are swallowed up by my cup holder.

Install is sooo easy, you Just put it in. I think it is within easy reach of the driver. If you scoot the passenger seat forward then the cup holder pushes forward too and you'd have to pull it back into place... but how often do you scoot the passenger seat forward in a Corvette?

I've sat in the passenger side and the cup holder wasn't in my way at all. It seams like a high price, but honestly I would say it is worth it. I actually got mine slightly used on Ebay from somebody that sold their Corvette and still had the holder.

The neutral, is the AR/CE neutral...
