Whats the odds of you finding something that actually shows your car in one of those pictures? Now that would be really cool.

That would be awesome but would be difficult unless they include shots of the windshield rear view mirrors as each car was numbered there as well

As I wait for the gta wheels that are supposed to be here on Tuesday I am working on other things. Last night added the front frame braces to the car, today my nice gbodyparts console cup holder riser came in. The quality is very nice. I also found this cool 1981 Indy hat on eBay it’s just one of the few styles they made.

How does the center console cup holder mount to your existing console? All the photos on the website just show it installed.

Neat find on the hat!

It literally just sits on the existing console, the sides extend down so it fits nice and snug I really like it. I wasn’t sure at first how I would like it but I love it.

May need one when my car is back on the road. Thanks for the reply!

No problem, the nice thing is if I want to remove it I just lift it off the console. But the fit is snug and it doesn’t slide around

Wonder why that cupholder is Buick only on the site?

Does it interfere trying to go into low gear at all?

Thanks in advance. Looking good!

I know on my Cutlass the console lid instead of it being flat like a regal console lid it instead has a raised up armrest. I think Montes are the same way. The way this console riser is made it wouldn’t be able to slide down and sit on top of the cutlass console lid due to it being raised. I haven’t shifted it down into low gear but doesn’t look like it will interfere with it.

Hmmh, wonder if you could just remove the lid and it would work? Nice idea.

Sorry, did not mean to hijack the thread.

I would think so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with the lid removed and no problem at all I would rather answer questions than someone pay 140 bucks for something that wouldn’t work on their car

According to UPS my new GTA wheels from classic industries should be here tomorrow. I hope so cause I have the tires at the tire shop ready to be mounted and I’m ready to see them installed. But for now a little center cap p*rn. These are the updated 84-85 GN & 86-87 T Type center caps with the updated snap ring to hold them on the wheel tighter as I think many people know the originals tend to fly off... so here are the brand new center caps that will grace the GTA wheels, also pictured is one of my original 85 GN center cap for comparison to the new ones
