Cup Holders

I thought about that... but because of the RX8 seats it's really not feasible. They're wider than the FC seats and anything in a good grabbing location would negate being able to move the seat forward.... which I find myself doing frequently now that it can.

I'm about 5'10" and it's a reach for me. Plus that leaves the glove box open while driving which is just asking for trouble.
