Default GS400 cup holder insert

I just recently bought a 2000 GS4 and was wondering of the center console cupholder is supposed to come with some sort of insert that would seperate the holder for two cups?
I called Lexus and they said I have to buy the entire cup holder assembly for some ridiculous price of $130 or something like that.
I have an IS300 and it has an insert that can be removed, is it something like this?

And oh yeah, if anyone has one that they don't want I'll take it!

Default thank you

Thank you Ronsully!
I figured there had to be something because the way it is now anything in there falls over if you make a quick stop.
Well if anyone is not using theirs I'll buy it or take it if giving away.
Thanks.

(I may have to go with the IS300 insert for $24 although it doesn't quite fit snug.)

yeah you need the insert and yes you need to get the whole assembly, i dont' think this comes separate

but keep in mind, the cupholders on the gs (especially 98-00) aren't the best designed stuff out there -- far from i should say. when i had my old 98-00 cupholders, even with the insert my drinks still fall down every time i accel or brake (as long as it's something over 6 inches...)

with my 01+ upgrade it's better but still not perfect

I guess I'll go with the IS300 insert instead for $24.
Thanks for the input though.

If you are talking about the divider, it is plastic and not foam.
