NEW cup holder potential...need feedback!

[VXorado]

Awesome, I love the design and I'll be a buyer for sure.

So does this need to be paired with a new shifter faceplate or is that just an option?

I like. Been looking for something to hold drinks.
How big of a cup will it hold?

Something that was not permanant would be cool. Meaning, if you could just lay it over your existing console, that would be ideal.

Even when you unscrew/install a new piece, it's not permanent. Glued isn't even permanent. (Think about tiled floors that get replaced.)

I understand many people aren't inclinded to grab a screwdriver and do installation. So, this point about a layover piece is valid. It might get more sales (if layover). But, if the point is to get a factory-like appearance with integral location of switches, I think the OP is on-track and should ignore votes for a drop-in part. Console installations are, after all, very simple.

I like the stacked location of the glass-holders. Making them sufficiently deep to avoid spills is critical. As is, the OEM bottom, shallow tray isn't good for anything. Cups, change, nor a phone will stay in place w/o sliding off under a seat. IMO, the factory center console is laughable.

Whether it be an aftermarket piece, or a suggestion from other automobile, the need for a better-designed center console is huge for these vehicles. On the switches issue, reusing factory switches (in their original harnesses), is best. OTOH, delivering a new piece with plug-in 2/3-gang switch plate also has merit. Consider a smaller triple-gang setup if you're having trouble with switch placing.

I vote for continued effort on this project. And, I'm curious how the plastic will be molded/formed. Does the OP have equipment necessary to do injection molding?
