Do you still have a set of the much coveted cup holders for sale?
How much do you want?

Are they really coveted?

In my opinion they are very awkward, you have to reach over and back with your left hand to grab the cup! Or use your right hand and look like you are having a fit.

Thats because true sports car arent supposed to have cupholders. Hince the reason all ferrari's, lamborghini's, mazerati's and most aston martins never came with cupholders. Only recently have these companies started putting in terrible cupholders that feel cheap and are in the most unusable places... It's not the engineers fault, they just can't justify adding and extra 5-10 pounds for cupholders...

However; they are very nice and convinent. Just buy the ones linked and be done with it. If you're 6'1' and you want cupholders that bad, then you should probably buy a different car, since car's dont stretch over time or develop large, supple cupholders as they age.

Wow, what does a 10 pound cupholder look like?

I'm not a fan of the trend, but cars do seem to stretch over time and develop cupholders
