I'm so glad we didn't get those seats. Those inserts look like a pimply faced 13 year old's bed sheets.

LOL! I wonder how hard it is to shift with all that crap cluttering the interior.
Imagine that in the S2K? Yikes.

Sorry 350Z-to-be,

I guess I was so quick on the respose the pictures weren't even all posted. I did have the same thought as SandMan about the cup holders. It's a strange nausiating design. It's like a mobile, cellular phone store or something.

I'm glad I wasn't eating when I first saw this cause I think I would have choked to death.

A round about quote from another member:
I would have easier time shooting my self in the face then put this monstrocity in.

No offense rescube.

not only does it block cup holder access, it doesnt have any cup holders of its own. You'd think something that large would have 17 or so cupholders on it.

Look at the strut tower brace. It has carbon fiber and an amp(?) it's blocking the rear window. Unless you want to have an OJ incident over a speeding ticket, you should try and put that thing elsewhere.

How do you shift without getting your arm in at a funky angle? Bizarre.

Default Missing an opportunity!

I think they are missing an opportunity. They could retrofit that bridge with a cupholder. Then you could drink from a straw without touching your drink!
I wonder if that is a drawbridge? So you could raise it incase your "significant other" wants to give you some "lovin" while driving down the road.

Live long and prosper!
