I just bought a used 94 Celica ST (automatic transmission), and discovered that it has no cupholders for that model year. I want to add cupholders. I searched the threads here and saw some people added DIN cupholders to the dash, but I am concerned about condensation dripping onto controls lower down the center console. I am considering other options, such as retrofitting with a later year's armrest cupholder. My transmission is an automatic, so I am not as concerned about the position of the cupholders effecting shifting (like the manual transmission people care about).

My question is, can I just get a later year's cupholder-armrest and simply replace the armrest on the 94's console, or do I need to replace the whole rear center console? I am concerned that the hinge, latch, and/or notches in the rear center console for the years with the cupholder may be different than the 94 without the cupholder.

Are you sure you just haven't found your cupholders yet? I know several members had owned their car for a while and an old thread popped up about how crappy the stock cupholders are [Not so bad IMO] and they were surprised to find out they had one. It can be somewhat unnoticeable if you don't know where to look for it.

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
