Does your car not have the factory arm rest? The cup holder is hidden inside it. It looks like a handle to lift the arm rest but it actually pulls straight out.

^That. Although good luck shifting with cups in there
 This is my solution to that: single DIN cupholders that were a factory option in Japan. Pretty sure Full-Throttle is selling another one of these if you're interested. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=92241  This post has been edited by PegGTS: May 20, 2014 - 10:52 PM -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

PEGGTS: The car came with a DVD Player, Sound Stream but no remote. It does have nevigation but it does not work and gives the message that there is no signal, even when the car is in the driveway or on the road. i have downloaded the Owner's manual for that model but have not read it in detail.
Riche: This morning it was a struggle to drive and shift with one hand while holding the cup of hot tea in the other. All through out the day, I kept thinking how I will put a cup-holder in it and where LOL. |

The cubby/cup holder was stock on a 1993 Geo Prizm so it may be available in other years from ebay or in other Corolla as well. I personally hated it, scared it would spill the drink INTO my radio and it locks out radio and HVAC.

I've been thinking of custom fab'ing some in the console itself and just do away with the ashtray, window rolled down is the best ashtray anyway XD
