very insightful comment...obviously coming from someone who could never fathom the process of fiberglassing, let alone possess the ability to do so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

F*** what they're talking about. Looks fine, does its intended job, and you gained some experience while doing it. The only problem I notice is that it kinda looks out of place. However, I'm sure it's functionality more than makes up for this.

Waste of time? Yes. Waste of money? Yes. Did we have fun doing it? Yes. Does it work? Yes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smash.gif.499e08a4a35ffaf54f4c8194fb8fe8ed.gif

If it serves it's purpose, and you had fun doing it. Then it's the $hit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i like the idea, and i like how it came out.....maybe u could wrap it in grey (sp?) vinyl and it would match your console more than the carpet, i like it though, nice work.

Ugly as hell. Go's to show you what beer, weed, and white trash can accomplish together.

Why don't you just buy a better car with a cup holder in it???????

cost of car > fiberglassing a cup holder.

Good one! My face is chagrined right now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Vinyl definitely would have looked better, but it was very hard to cover just in carpet, due it being long, square, and curvy (had to make 4 seams), so it would have been a lot worse with vinyl.

And it only cost about 40 bucks....would have been less if I wasn't so careless with the brushes, at least 20 bucks was spent just on them......da*n, that got me thinking, maybe we should have parlayed that money on some ponies down at the racetrack and bought ourselves a new Trailblazer!
