Yes, that's it (without the insert).
The cup holder in the GX460 2010-2013 seems to have been designed to work best with shallow, proprietary coffee mugs with a footprint that looks like this:
...Which is something that I have never seen anywhere in my life.
... that's got to be an 8oz cup pictured in there- which might be acceptable for a Prius, but C'mon.

No, the 2014 GX cup holder is not removable. It looks like you would need to take apart the console to replace a damaged cup holder. The good news is that is seems very sturdy. Much more sturdy than the cupholder I had in the 2014 RX.
The 2014 cup holder will hold a pretty large cup though. I took a bottle of wine to friends house, and it fit perfectly in the cup holder.

In Lexus' and other automakers' defense, the front cup holders were probably never designed to hold heavy large drinks. I have no trouble fitting neither my Venti Iced Coffee from Starbucks nor Big Gulp from 7/11. Thermals and other larger bottles fit just fine in the holders by the side of the doors. I am aware that some other automakers use the flimsy rubber flaps in place of the spring-loaded kind, and have seen those snap-off over time.
Hi! I just bought a used 2012 GX 460, and have now noticed that it is missing a cup divider insert in the center console between the front seats. Can anyone point me in a direction to order a replacement insert? My online searches keep directing me to ebay sites and I am suspicious that it will be a proper fit, and would prefer an OEM product. Thanks!
I've had my GX for 4 months and love it, but have a real lack of love for the cup holders! Are there any solutions? When I make a hard turn, my cups tip and spill and they are also scratching all of my cups. My brand new stainless steel coffee mug is all scratched up on the bottom. Of all of the cars I've owned, I've never had any issues with cup holders until now! They're terrible.
We were not happy with them either. I had a section of about 4" pipe. I think it was a suction tube that came with a leaf blower we have. I cut a piece about 3-4" long and pushed them into the cup holders. Doesn't look the best but works great. The cover for the cup holders won't close with them in place but that's not a problem for us.
Anyone else have issues with the grip strength of the front cup holders ? Almost punctures my Dunkin Donuts cups every time ?
Same problem on the wife's 2015 with Chick-Fil-A styrofoam cups -- haven't had one bust yet but it definitely pushes it. She just tries to keep it in mind and be as careful as possible.
