CupHolders for my FC (pics)

Well, We all know FC's don't come with cup holders. You're either stuck with going buying those crap cup holders from the auto parts store or you're stuck holding drinks with one hand or between your legs. I got tired of holding drinks with one hand.

Well, It's a long story, simple words would be

1. get a hold of a cup holder, like from a ford taurus, audi, subaru. that one is from a subaru. not the greatest design. works either way.

2. figure a way to mount it (brackets)
3. plastic weld / bondo and sand, paint.

I don't know how great it would sell. For the amount of labor involved i would doubt anyone would pay 200+ for it.

the shifter clears. its a tight fit unless you got big big hands. i have a short shifter so it kinda helps.

I would recommend not getting it. The glidetouch is very annoying. Wait til the new models come out. They're getting rid of the glidetouch.

Thanks. The intercooler is a stock intercooler with the shroud removed. I need to get a front mount and a stand alone w/ injectors.

thats a big place to fill. i wouldnt recommend bondo all together. you should try to find plastic weld. its basicly a two step formula and you mix it together. its for fixing broken plastic pieces. i would find a sheet of plastic and try to fill it up as much as you can. thats a big piece to fill

I actually love the glide touch, it's defintley not user friendly but once you get it down I can blaze through the menus instead of having to click and select everything...
