PLEASE READ
Attention all customers and potential customers:
I have such an expansive catalog of parts for multiple platforms, I am personally not able to keep a full inventory of all my parts and options on hand at all times. As always I will make an effort to keep popular parts readily available within reason.
If an item is listed as “SOLD OUT”, that means I am no longer making that particular part for various reasons.
Everything else IS AVAILABLE for purchase now.
New parts are ‘made to order’ and will take the usual 1-2 weeks to fulfill. When the part is READY, You will receive an email that will include tracking.
I am a one man show and the parts are hand made and hand finished, a process that takes a bit of time.
Delays will be common, especially for international orders due to postal service anomalies.
If you are worried about timelines or updates, please be patient and contact me via (SHANEDRAKEAIRFORCE@Gmail.com)
As always, Terms and Conditions apply.
Thanks everyone for your amazing support over the years
-Shane Drake
FIRE UPDATE:
The house and shop are complete! Still many small details and projects to finish, but we are moved in and loving our new home.
————————————————————__________________________________________________________
Welcome to DRAKES;
I am a one man business that started making parts as a hobby in Japan and it has grown into a full time operation here in New England.
It’s just me, one guy in his shop on our chicken farm. I scan, design, print, finish, package every part myself. I am involved in the entire process start to finish. I hand sand and paint each part that goes out the door. Its highly involved, and like me.. not always perfect.
I started selling aftermarket parts in the VW and Audi community around 2012, at the same time I got some notoriety for a few of my projects and builds that made it into magazines and big outlets. After spending 4 years in Japan, I grew attached to the JDM market and the cars...
I bought my dream car while stationed in Okinawa, a 92 FD Rx7, once I started scanning and making parts for myself, DRAKES was born…
Now I have produced hundreds of replacement parts for various platforms out of production. I have sold my pieces to every corner of the world, and even my failed ideas live on in the parts offered by many of my competitors.
I am always willing to work with the customer, to develop or tweak an existing product to meet your needs. If I don’t have it, but you can dream it, than we can create it.
I am on Instagram as @Draklore which will give you regular updates on future products and current projects.
Thanks everyone for the many great years

68mm Cup Holder with “Push Push” operation.
Heavy Duty ABS Design, pair it with my DRAKES S13 Vent Housing for best results.
Compatible with OE Vent Housing, REAR CAGE MUST BE REMOVED
DO this at your own risk as I am not liable for damage.
Micro Roller bearings offer smooth operation, and a cabinet latch makes for a strong springing action when you push in the vent fascia.
The cup holder is easily installed by aligning the Vent Housing Diverter into the horizontal position and then sliding in the side detents.
The spring loaded side detents will either snap into the OE plastic housing or sit comfortably in the DRAKES M4 Bearing swivels
The amount of action needed is easily adjusted with a M4 grub screw on the rear.
Two inset M3 screws offer security of the cup holder onto the vent housing, for anti theft purposes (ONLY available on the DRAKES Housing).
S13 RAM Insert
This is an interchangeable insert for my S13 Vent Housing.
It WILL NOT fit in the OE Vent Housing.
Can be secured to the Vent Housing with two easy to access M3 screws. Pops in via spring loaded detents.

ITS ONE BIG VENT!
.
I have put a lot of thought into the design
With a push on the top of the vent, the diverter *POPS* closed. push the vent on the bottom and once fully articulated *CLICK*, the diverter opens back up.
I am in the final stages of prototyping, and will have a full release with the available options and prices around the second week of April (or sooner).
