As far as I recall, there is not one available. That space on the right just under the vent is used for something else.

That cup holder on the drivers side is one of the coolest features of my rx!

I remember a discussion about using the holder from a RHD model, don't know if it was completed.

Fellow member infinirx did it to his RX when he had it. I know that he has since sold his RX and moved up to a 1st gen GX. He hasn't been active in about a year, but you might want to look through his threads. I remember that a lot of people asked him about it, so he went into some detail as to how he did it. If you can't find anything, maybe try PMing him and see if he replies.

In the RX (Harrier) model, the union between the A/C pipe (don't know the technical term) and the vent is larger at the passenger side (right side for LHD and left side for RHD) than the driver side. This is a problem because Toyota only made this fancy vent for the "driver" side. I can't tell you with any certainty if the routing for the pipe is identical, but if you look at the blow-out parts diagrams, besides the pipe "shape," the vents appear to have the same runs and turns. I wanted to do this mod, too, but have decided not to because the vent is pretty expensive for a singular piece, and I didn't like the idea of possibly opening up a leak source by trying to fit this together.
