I was looking through the manual today and saw that there is supposed to be a cupholder in center console. my 1996 T doesn’t seem to have one. There are 2 holes in there where I think it is supposed to snap in., Does anyone have a picture of their cupholder that they can post. Also I’d like to order one but I’m not sure exactly what part number it is. Should I just call the local Acura dealer or is there another parts distributor you guys use that may be more economical. Thanks
Pictures of your cupholder

Unless you want one 'just because', I would not bother ordering one if you are looking for something functional. Definitely would not hold a Venti from Starbucks - might be useable if you like your caffeine in espresso form in one of those tiny demitasse cups.
Part #33 in the following diagram. Its really pricey for what it is.

The stock cupholder is effectively worthless and poorly made; and is difficult to keep in its intended location. Honda should be ashamed for selling this part.
The only reason I have one is to have a "complete" car as I am concerned the part will go NLA.

Thanks for the replies. I wanted to make the car complete so nothing is missing. I saw the part on a website but it looked too big for the space. Dose it compress down when the lid is closed?
Yes, it compresses down, but not very well. It will press up against the armrest either making it extremely difficult to close properly OR to keep closed. It has all the useful value of a trinket.
It is a poorly engineered part that does not perform as reasonably expected. Again: Honda should be ashamed...it's something Ford or GM would do in the 80's to "check a box".
I recommend just buying one and keeping it in the original bag. In JP they cost $85 and in the US they are $175, dealer price should be US$25. They are so overpriced and useless that they will likely be worth a small fortune in 20 years because everybody with any sense trashed them upon receipt.
I don't know if NSX's are going to go into concours mode like the Ferrari's...where the bits and bobs are worth a boatload and rented to other owners. I'm just wondering what a complete car phone will fetch in a dozen years. Or maybe this whole thing will fall apart as gasoline goes extinct and petrol cars become a paperweight.
(Note: My wife doesn't like being called The Cupholder, so I won't be posting a picture of her here. That is the only cupholder I use in the NSX.

Yeow! Certain things once seen cannot be un seen. My eyes hurt and to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld it would have been nice if those had remained a known unknown.
Love the Burger King crown!
Many years ago a similar thread was started. Someone posted a (much) cute, freckled chest (suitable for work). No burger king crown, though. But she appeared to be a princess.

Toyota tacoma ~2015 cup holders just slide right in the arm rest console. you can use two or just one and still have your center console.

Wow, that's good to know! Thanks for sharing.
Just to make sure, does this work on the NA2 with the split lid style?

I have a 1991, so you could use one of the two.

I tried ordering the cupholder and they refunded my money saying the part is no longer available and there is no time frame for a replacement.. Hold on to those cupholders they may be worth some good money!
I added the photo that I referenced into the post. Certainly not a large burger king person.
I do not remember who the original poster was, perhaps cross posting it in the "Whatever happened to" threat would find the originator!

I just ordered mine from Amayama a couple of months ago without issue. Did you use the link in my post?
Based on the Tacoma cupholder, I bet the BMW E46/E36 cupholder will work just as well.
and finally, apparently, drinking boba and using something spelled similar as a cupholder is a thing is Japan.

I did and it worked fine. Thanks for the link. WAY cheaper than US sources. Pretty good deal on Zanardi shift knobs too.
If you are talking about the ones that were USDM installed in E46s, I wouldn't bet on the BMW one working well for long. The plastic is easily brittled, and the spring loaded ears are worthless after not much time.
So I ordered the cup holder from Amayama the other day and today I recieved a reply that the cup holders are not available from their manufacturer. FYI
My, oh my!
