Default Thinking of upgrading my Cupholder...
Some get 997 style taillights, others get 991 style wheels for their 996 but I've been thinking of the 918 cup holder. Go big or go home...

It's on sale now for over 30% off too.

The Philistines here will bitch about the price, but it's important to have an N-rated holder. You do NOT want to be accelerating through 200MPH or fighting to keep down next to the inside curb on Karussell and have your ****ty aftermarket cupholder fail.

These are Porsches, dammit! Extraordinary parts for extraordinary cars come with extraordinary prices. This is a FACT. If you don't like it, buy yourself a lesser car with a cheap-*** $750 cupholder.

If any one here actually buys one for their 996. Strongly suggest you don't tell anyone.

It will NEVER END. This will be the thread to trump all threads at your expense.

$1000 sheesh that's lots of 420 everyone on the 420 thread is thinking!

Aluminum cup holder with attachment to the passenger's side of the center console. Easily removed from the center console for situations when it is not required.

Serious cupholder is serious.

I like the look of your cup holder but what with the recent outlay on getting the car in the first place, I am more likely to be getting this for Christmas.

May as well replace the driver and passenger seats while your at it.
Any one have the step by step installation instructions? Great upgrade for a long trip!
