Default Wow nice, I found a hidden cupholder!

Ok, so I remember noticing it in a t/a interior pic a long time ago, but assumed my camaro didn't have it, and I hate "the" factory cupholder in the console because it's useless since you all know, htat's where your arm goes. So anyway, I was thinking, yeah on a t/a they have a cupholder tucked away under the radio passenger side there, why don't I have one. So I looked closer and BAM! I do have it! It's sweet. It's invisible until you swing it out then you have a reliable and usable place for your beverage. SWEET! Anybody else oblivious about this? I drove my car 40k miles and finally found it ha!

the glove boxes lock? I take it it is the key to the door tht would lock and unlock it? Ive never really been tht low to see it or thought about it now I know I can put my faceplate in there. Thanks guys.

The ls6 cupholder has too much wind resistance I heard you need to grind it and polish it, I heard thats at least .7 off your e/t.

I also thought I was "cup holder deficient" for about a couple of months.

You know what really sucks... the trans am guys/gals have two extra cup holders on the doors

and dont forget about the two in the back of the console and the one between your legs

I've owned 3 different 4th gen F-bodies over the last 8+ years, and they all had a see-thru glass roof. I just discovered 3 weeks ago that these glass panels actually come off!!!!! Did anyone else know about this?!?! Damn GM really pulled the wool over my eyes on this one!
