Last week we posted a video on how to install our ProClip Angled Mount (855034) in the beautiful 2014/2015 Chevrolet Corvette. While the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette is equipped with a variety of amazing features, such as a 460 horsepower, V8 engine and performance of 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, ProClip car phone mounts are also a powerful advantage to both the pro and novice driver.

Both gadget and auto enthusiasts appreciate the quality construction and ease of installing our custom car phone mounts and holders. To that point, it seems gadget and auto enthusiasts have a lot in common – namely their love for technology and the functionality it brings to their every day lives.
