Ok, thanks! Please keep me posted. I'm hoping to have the Switch Pros panel and a socket/USB panel in hand before August 10 when i'm having the inside torn into for wiring.

So got the prototype for the new cupholders from @BenCC last night and installed it. Real simple and quick install, took me a minute to figure out how to properly get everything back together but all in all I am SUPER STOKED about this.
Mind you this is the first draft prototype from him so there are a couple things he and I are discussing for revisions. BUT the cupholder functionality is AWESOME! After I installed I ran up to the family cabin to do a quick errand, about 45 minutes one way through the mountains. I took my big 36oz Yeti with me and a 12oz La Croix can to test things out. The butterfly can actually be positioned to accommodate both the Yeti AND a standard soda can! The cellphone pocket is a nice addition but I have M2V2 ball mount that holds my phone so not a huge thing for me. It would, however, fit a slim wallet like the single version of my Dango Dapper D1 wallet (I have the Bi-Fold version).

Only bummer is that it DOES NOT fit my 14oz Yeti coffee mug, however that is not a deal breaker for me as I hold that in my hand while driving. So take it for what its worth.

Ben wanted me to open this up here for others to post question and feedback. So if there is something more specific you want me to look at or try let me know.

Could you make a cupholder version that does not use the butterfly? Just two round pockets and the cell phone slot.
If it could fit the 14oz yeti, that would be killer. If not, I'll find a different mug. Looks great, stoked to get one in!
Well that is awesome. I'm in for a new cupholder.

Absolutely rock solid... about a millimeter or two all the way around so it can move ever so slightly. And that is with the stickers on. Spot on perfect fit I think!
That sounds like it would be awesome!
re: cupholder, we don’t necesseraly all carry very large cups so I would suggest a version that has twin smaller openings (same as the one holding the can in the pictures).
otherwise I think it is perfect and would be really keen to order (after a mishap the cover has broken off and will be sore until it is resolved and improved upon)
I wonder if that could be made into silicone?

sure but then a two piece mold needs to be made. It’s not worth the cost to make a handful of these.

That is what the butterfly is for. Even in the larger opening with the butterfly open all the way it will nicely hold a 12oz can.

Ben, I may have missed this... but does your cupholder do/allow for anything to insulate the cupholder from the drivetrain heat? My wife complains (rightly so) that the cupholder cooks her Diet Cokes. Or, is this just a matter of putting some FatMat in there during the swap?
