Default Center console cupholder missing divider?

Can someone take a picture of their center console cup holder? I think there is supposed to be a divider there, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Ah yes, our number one (or maybe two) complaint about our RX, the crappy cupholder!

My 04 has a hinged section that can be flipped up or down to sort of help with keeping cups in place. See if yours is flipped up?

Mine has the hinged section as well and is flipped down. I put other things in my cup holder (such as my phone) and it aggravates me when it flies around in the cup holder when turning. I did find this though, and even though the front lip is too tall to where the hinged section can fold down, it fits tightly and does the job. It looks as if it's made for the Japanese built RX330's like guyrat7's (just judging by the pic posted).

hmmmm... never had a flip-down part. I guess what gets shipped over there and what gets shipped over here is a bit different. Australian Rx330s have timing chains! phew

Those of you that have a cupholder that looks like guyrat7's, well, you guys are missing 2 pieces.

psycle01 (post #5) found the divider piece on e-bay. The flip-up piece is used to adjust for different size cups and keep them from sliding. It comes out by pulling it straight up, just like the divider piece. I can see the mounting holes in guyrat7's photo.

My 07:

Found the flip up piece in a parts list. It is part # 556180E020. The MSRP is $34.24 US dollars, $ 23.68 on line.

It is part # 5 in this diagram:

Good looking out DennisMik. My flip up piece doesn't have the center notch cut out to allow for the divider, for whatever reason. I may order the one you listed and swap them.
