Swapping out the open cupholders for the ones with a lid on the Kia Stinger?

[VegasStinger]

It doesn't look that difficult to swap out the open cup holders for the ones with the lid like they get in Korea.

I'm thinking at the most there's a couple of retention clips that holds the panel in place. Then its just the matter of swapping out the parts. What do you guys think?

Kia Stinger OEM cup holder, OEM Kia Stinger cup holder

It looks so much better with the lid! I might consider that too.

Its a good thing that surround doesn't wrap all the way behind the armrest, removal seems very straight forward. I suggest you guys get a set of nylon tools to make the removal process much easier and it won't scratch the trims.

Is anyone able to find these parts and prices for them? Which markets got the lid? Maybe a South Korean dealer would have them listed.

Well looks like our friends in Canada got the 360 camera and Qi charger but no cup holder lid

I have a Pixel2XL and it won't fit in there - I don't think my old phone - an iPhone 6s would either. I could be wrong...

There's a total of 8 retainer clips.

Yes, please....

It looks so much better with the proper cover, but what's the cost!?!? And availability (where and when)?

Thanks--it says they are in stock, too.

But this is the same vendor who can't get them for a group buy?

He was only able to get a couple, not enough for a large group buy.

Maybe a bit later...? If we can be patient, and the interest level becomes known, the marketplace might respond...

True, if the right deal comes along I'll bite, otherwise I can wait.

I'm hearing the cupholders are smaller on the part with the cover. It'd be nice to know if this is true and by how much.

One is the same size. The other is slightly smaller.
