John (NasTTcar) has been planting ideas in my head for a "Real" cup-holder (after dumpung a cup on his carpet!). He has hundreds of these aluminum tubes with have proven worthless for ****'s...so: Perfect for Commuting, easily adapted to the interior, Quick release for weekend drives... ANyway, here's an idea:

Conveniently adjustable:

Relatively unobtrusive mount when removed (5 seconds):

Of course, the tubes would be lathe turned, closed cell foam interior, possible bottom install.

Anyway, any point in pursuing this any further? Opinions and $$ worth to you?

Thanks,

I'm just sick and tired of having to search of it under my seat. But those other cell phone holder w/sticky pads will simply ruin the look of the interior. (Yeah, I'm picky about stuff like that)

Are you going to machine the tubes nicely like the ****? Interesting to see what the final product will look like.

Just substitute a phone cradle for the Mug holder. The RAM mount system is very versatile. Yep, they'd be turned.

You build it, we'll buy it... put me on the list.
