Default RC-F rear cupholder installed in a RC350 F-Sport .


It is a 10 second swap from the old to the new RC-F cupholder once you remove the rear seat cushion.

RC-F cupholder in a RC 350 F-Sport. Why would Lexus put one in an RC-F that is 400 plus horsepower and not in a RC 350?

I don't even use the back seats. When I sit in my car, the back of my seat is inches from the back seat and I'm only 5'10"

With that being said, I want that and where can I get it?

Well, in my case, my 9 year old son is usually back there and needs to put his cool one there.

You can order it at your friendly local Lexus dealership!

I've had my RC for about 5 years, and nobody has ever been back there long enough to enjoy sipping on a beverage. Besides, they would spill it all over just maneuvering around to get in back there. But I agree with tn (above): it really looks nice and I would love to have it.

It really looks good, but I'm still not sure what having or not having a place to rest your refreshing beverage has to to with the admitted fact that "theirs [sic] no leg room" back there. Even cramped passengers, or grade school kids, deserve a cup holder.

Useless for some, but as stated my passenger (son) has a use for it.

Useful for getting empties out of the way on a road trip also.

ERAY: Is that a strip of duct tape running across the back of the cupholder module?

Default Can you confirm part number?

Looks like it is

589F0-24010-C0?


I think is runs $140 - 200 online depending where you go.
Thank you!

I can confirm that 589F0-24010-C0 is the correct part for my 2016 RC350 F-Sport. I would add that when you remove the rear seat by pulling up on the front of the rear seat you are likely to break the plastic tabs on the REAR SEAT CUSHION LOCK fasteners that hold the front of the rear seat cushion securely. The replacement part number for the rear seat cushion lock fastener is 72693-12080 and typically goes for under $1 each. So, if you plan to do this modification, order some extra seat fasteners.
