Best looking Cup Holder I've Found

Since I own a 1999 MY, I don't have a cup holder. I've read this forum and done my own research as well. None really looked like what I wanted ..... until I found the one at this link:

www.cupholders.com

Be sure to select Porsche from the list on the left.

I like the placement and the 2-cup capacity.

Does anyone have any experience with this set up?

Looks okay. I wonder if your elbow would hit that thing every time you shift? Can't open that compartment up all the way after its installed. I like the way it conforms with the shape of the top though.

I agree with porsche986spyder, looks a little cumbersome.

And if you are going to spend over a hundred bucks for a cup holder you might go full tilt and get the one from:

That one looks much better.

I have this cupholder installed on by 2000. It cam with the car. Works great as a elbow rest, jut ok for a cut holder. It does hold two cups, but is in an awkward position for good use.

You know you are the first person I have heard that actually had one installed

I think they look great and would be a nice armrest, but as you point out it looks like you would need to reach with your left hand to get your drink.

How is the looks/feel of it in general (OEM Look & feel)??
