Works a treat for me. It does make the cabin feel slightly smaller since it encroaches on your leg room. Usually when I'm not using it, I store it in the door card pocket and when I need to hold a delicious chocolate frappe I clip it on and enjoy a spill free trip.

Give them an Acetone vapor bath to give them a smooth and glossy finish.

I honestly love the aesthetic of each layer and the matte finish ties into the interior so well. In earlier versions I tried the acetone vapor bath but didn't get good results. Either the edges got squished, clip deformed and while the surface was smooth to touch it looked rippled on the verticals. The best result I achieved was just to sand with 100-1200 grit and plastic polish for a nice sheen but the time invested was not worth it.

I too enjoy the 'machined' look of the surface, reminds me of cnced parts. Porn!
BTW, awesome work Joel, thanks for the contribution.

Cup holders were posted last week for anybody following this thread. I still have a few remaining for anyone else that is interested. I used mine to hold a milkshake today.

Just received mine, and it looks great.
Also, beautifully packed for shipping.
If I position it carefully, it doesn't hinder leg room.
With the small inside space available inside an MR2 it is perfect for the job, and stores easily.
A great design Joel.
