okok, guess a lot of questions are answered alreayd, so i will just summarize what i know
dave, yes, that's all the part you need, just the center divider. initially was i was very skeptical whether it's really going to work, but what i can say now is no it's still not perfect but damn is it so much better. other than the foam on the divider, everything else is the same.
but the sad part is you can't just get this part, at least i wasn't able to find or get any part number for it. so it's the whole cupholder assembly. to do that you will have to pull out the whole shift plate area (which will require you to take out the ashtray first) and unscrew the old plate and put on the new plate

I don't get it. If everything is the same, except for the foam, why would you have to take everything apart to get the little divider out? In my car, it just pulls out.

No not on my car both sides have the slim protrusion for the slot. Sewell responded and said I woulD have to buy the entire cup holder thing to update it. My car is one of the first 1998 gs400 made and I guess that those were different. I am going to modify it to make it fit

i think im going to find some extra foam and double stick a 1/4 inch of it under the current flaps to give it a "tighter" fit.

wow i never knew that it was different, out of all areas to change they pick that part. i have a 02 gs3 with the foam divider and even with a poland spring bottle it still flys away if you accelerate quick or do sudden turns :\ there has to be a better way to keep the bottle in place.
