    These look like stick-on veneers. Caveat emptor.

    Dunno. I've got a 2000 Sonata. My cupholders are a particularly
    dumb design in an even dumber center console -- anything I want
    to put into the cupholders seems to be the wrong size; and if two
    people, let's say, get identical sawdust shakes, only one will
    fit -- the other one won't. With the cupholder door closed, the
    slippery, sloped, oh-so-deco contoured surface makes anything
    placed on it it slide off. The swing-open compartments are too
    low and too far back to support my elbow.

    So if your console is as good as mine, why not get out that
    hacksaw, mix up some epoxy, and go to it!

    Because it didn't break by itself. I had placed a bushed aluminum cup
    in there and the grip handle pushed against it inadvertently cracking
    it. It's so paper thin I am not surprised it cracked.

    Dunno. I've got a 2000 Sonata. My cupholders are a particularly
    That's kind of the problem with modern cars. All the molded plastic is
    very sensitive and there's no one-size-fits-all on the cup holders. My
    2002 Sonata also has the one big one small layout. Two of the same
    would have been just fine. It still blows my mind that the replacement
    plastic costs as much as it does.
    Ha, don't tempt me. It'll do it up like a Mad Max mobile or something!
    Extreme Hyundai makeover. Cheers.
