Drink Holder for M6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

T_MECO · 12-16-2009, 10:53 AM

I know I'm not the only one out there that has noticed that the cup holders are in a akward spot for owners of 6 speeds. Down right annoying. I live with it because, lets face it, this is a freaking cool car and I can survive with not drinking in the car. But on those rare occasions a soda can or fast food drink does make it in the car, I wanted a place to put it.
So this is what I made. I saw the idea for it after seeing it on Corvette forums. It's a simple collapsable drink holder attached to clear lexan. The prongs are expanable so it will fit a larger drink.

Great idea, looks good.

How is the lexan secured? is the pressure from the plastic panel holding the lexan/cupholder in place?

I agree with u though, everytime i bring a drink home, it is ALWAYS in the way. AND i will eventually have the multi-switch panel that fits in the cupholder spot for my nitrous/bottle warmer/cutouts/etc...

So this is a MUST have for me!

I used Rivets to secure the cup holder to the lexanand so that it is flush with the back of the lexan. The lexan slips up under the console to hold it in place - so no screwing it into the tranny tunnel. And I can remove it when I don't need it there.

I made this myself last night- but there is probably something like this out there already. I know corvettes have been using them - But the size of this one is custom to our car.

I don't know about Texas but here in NC children under a certain age are not allowed in the front seat especially if in a car seat. The air bag alone can cause severe injuries. But to each there own.

Man I was just thinking today, in the 4th gen the pass cup holder was on the door panel, they shoulda done it again

What if you only had a 2 seater? The airbag does not engage, he doesn't weigh enough..
