My dog cracked the cupholder insert this weekend. Does anybody know if this part is available on its own, or does anybody want to part with one?
 
My new to me lx470 didn't have one with it (maybe someone took it for a spin just to steal the piece - unlike other parts like rear seats, headrests, I can't understand why anyone who owns the car would remove it).

When I looked into buying a replacement the two ethical options were:
1) buy a new center console for about $600 (at least for the lx since they don't sell just the butterfly piece alone - you need to buy the entire center console and it's expensive with the wood trim). Don't know the price for the LC but I'm sure it's more than the ~$30-$50 you'll pay on ebay

2) buy a used one (ebay had numerous ones available at the time) and here's a link with at least 3 available as of this moment. You can also search for lx470 or gx470 'cause i think they're all interchangeable.

Yes, you can order that part by itself. I replaced mine after soda was spilled over it and glued it together and then when trying to get it unstuck... I broke it. Can't remember the exact price but you can get them.
 
You can't buy just the butterfly piece from toyota - not that I can see. The part number for the entire insert appears to be: 55604-60060 and the description is "55604A HOLDER SUB-ASSY, INSTRUMENT PANEL CUP"

The price for the toyota is ~110 at toyotapartszone, the price for the same piece on the lx470 is 475 b/c of the exotic wood trim. If you buy on ebay you can probably get just the butterfly for less than 50.

Good to know how much cheaper the toyota insert is, but still is it worth 110 to buy new vs. half off ebay...
 
Call CDan. I swear a friend of mine bought just the insert, but it was pricey. I swear he said $75 or something like that. I spilled my coffee when he told me. That, I remember !
 
I bought mine from Zane, after he found it would not work for his rig. I can't remember what the exact price, but I KNOW it was NOT $600 or even close. He may have originally gotten it from ebay, but I am not sure.
 
parnoren - I believe you are correct and that looks more like the price I spent.
 
Anyone got a pic of this in your truck? Mine doesn't have one, and my...er...coke bottles keep falling over when turning. I'm assuming this holds containers firmly?
