Default RC interior pieces

I really like the color matched pieces on either side of the centre console and the arm rest. Any idea if these parts are or will be available? Seems like they should be a direct fit to 3IS? The arm rest shape looks a little different. And I want that dead pedal!

Still glad I went with the IS but having a bit of RC envy haha. Even the blue color on the F-sport gauges looks so nice!

Yeah - I hear you buddy! I want them as well. Please someone inform us if we can retrofit those parts.

Looks like that owner@MinKara is still trying to retrofit the RC cup holders in IS. Initial fitment test shows it is impossible but the owner said he has given up yet..

They've got some little tabs it looks like on the inside to accomodate cup sizes with different diameters or keep it from moving around. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's almost easier to use the cup holders in the rear seats when you're driving versus the front

Actually I meant to say the owner said he hasn't given up yet.

The assembly of the cup holders is quite different.

Honestly I won't bother replacing them. It depends on what beverages you have.

The RC cup holders have clamps which should accommodate beverages of various sizes better. I think the lacking of those tabs in the cup holders of IS is an oversight.
