    Umm... looks like it will spill, peel away, and fall in 3 weeks. No doubt uses stickytape to "mount anywhere". Which in my experience means, mounts nowhere very well.

    Go ahead, give it a shot, give us a review.

    x2!! I'd never trust a stick up drink holder, that's insane. Although I do see two screw holes so you can install it properly, but I never would.

    LOL, see video. It says guaranteed not to spill when using the stick-on tape-- yeah, when the beverage containers are completely "empty"!!! What a piece of crap.

    i was most concerned as to how close a match the carbon fiber on the cup holder to that of our interiors, compare?....and if the color of the holder itself also match our innards......

    i too noticed two screw holes for the sturdier permanent mount

    Looks exactly like the cupholder I picked up at West Marine for $9.99 except with a disk of fake carbon fiber stuck to it. Figured I'd at least give the tape a try before drilling holes. I don't trust it 100% so I never put anything in it that doesn't have a lid on it but - after two years and countless 20 oz drinks - I haven't had to drill any holes yet...

    Unfortunately my beverages usually weigh in at least 32 oz and only because nothing bigger will fit. That was the hardest thing to get used to with the VX switching to 12 oz sodas so the can would fit in the square hole between the seats.
