Hi There,

We are a F-Chat sponsor and have been around for a while now. There are some threads on this subject and you will find the reviews to be positive. In stock and will ship same day if the order makes it in before the FedEx cutoff.

Hope this helps.

 

The only problem with these kinds of solutions in 360's is the brake handle can get in the way of your drink.

 

Hi! thanks for the quick response, does it match factory carbon fiber? i have center console in carbon,

is shipping to taiwan possible?


Thanks!

 

oooo, but in the f430 should be fine?
thanks for the information

 

I have this cupholder. Ordered it about 1 month ago for my 07 430. Carbon fiber matches up PERFECTLY.

Problems are that the parking break is in the way of using this while driving, the size isn't exact (there are small gaps in the console and the cupholer), and the rubber piece that fits in the bottom of the cupholder to absorb the shock is too small and doesn't fit very tight.

I still like the cupholder... and it looks good, but frankly, I may sell mine and try a carbon fiber ashtray instead.

 

i bought it a while back and i think it looks great
here is a pic of it in my 430

In the 360, one loses the power outlet.

 

For 360 owners an optional kit is available that re-locates the power outlet. $15.

 

mroberts,
when parking break is in the way when driving?
so it i had a bottle of water....it wont fit correctly when driving?
size isnt exact...can i fit things to make it tighter? like cotton balls haha


f355red, that looks awesome!

 

I'll take pics tonight to show you. Its a cool piece, but really not that functional.. IMO.

 

I don't understand the obsession with Carbon Fiber. I'd rather have brushed aluminum. There are no stock carbon fiber parts on my car anywhere. The stuff is expensive as heck and scratches easily. Give me plastic or give me aluminum.

 

Hi Joey,

I know Rob and had a set of his 360 CF air box lids. Outstanding quality and also a really great guy to do business with. I have not seen the cup holders specifically, but if they are anything like the airbox lids, then I'm sure they are very nicely made.

I would not hesitate to do business with Carbonio; the quality of their carbon fiber is some of the best I've ever seen.

You wouldn't say that if you had CF airbox lids on your car!

thanks

 

bada boom, bada bing!!!
EXACTLY!!!

 

So, is this good for a 360? If you can't get a drink in it with the the park break down, what good will it do?
I have been looking for one, I thought this would resolve my problem. Will it?

 

Parking brake can be engaged and disengaged with some slight obstruction if a proper sized bottle is fitted properly.
I installed the Carbonio cup holder with the greater objective of fitting the bottle to keep myself properly hydrated in mind, the little inconvenience for the parking brake does not bother me.

 

Cup holders? I thought that's what passengers were for...

 

+1
cars are for driving, I'll drink when I get home.

 

Yes, there are those of us who are fortunate enough to use this cars as a daily driver, stuck in heavy traffic or embarking on very long distance fun driving. True, I do not use it all the time but it is indeed useful when you need them....just making the car more practical.

 

seriously.. how do you expect your passenger to hold a cup while also hiking up her skirt?

Use your head man...

Cup holders, FFS!

The only cups I like in my cars are DD ones!

 

True.

I have no problem with cup holders in Ferrari's but I think it depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a GT, what's the big deal? If it's a sports car intended for short spirited blasts around town, then it's more like a ashtray on a motorcycle.

The idea that somehow Ferrari's can't have cupholders is silly. If the first Ferrari's didn't have radios, then should we not have them now? They add weight, they complicate everything, they look awful, they distract the drivers, they interfere with the sound of the motor, and their only purpose is entertainment.

Tell me -- what's the difference?
