Been lucky with mine so can’t offer them up. But will upgrade to CF ones if they get made! Bit of preventative maintenance :thumbsup:

Surely just buy an OEM set and then 3D print against those, and you'll make your money back in no time?!

I am looking into cupholders as we speak so would be interested in complete units as well. I have none in mine.

Highly recommend checking out The Ultimate Cup Holder. They are $30 apiece (includes shipping) and will never break like the stock ones do. I've had mine for over a year and have had ZERO problems!

Welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

I've had the stock ones in the car since 2008, and I've never managed to break one, despite there being a 500-750ml bottle of water in there almost all the time (including track days), and covering 150,000 miles.

Don't forget to buy 2 though, as your passenger might want a drink too :poke:

Still working on my own design. Trying to make them a bit slimmer, but retaining the shape.

As I've not seen the bits people keep breaking on the genuine ones, I've not done any work on those as yet.
