Sliding cup-holder photos on Shinka

When I posted my first Shinka photos, I had a request for some close-ups of the sliding cup-holder.
After doing a search it looks like there were some problems with the design.
I haven't had any problems with the one in my 2005 Shinka.
Not sure if the design has changed or not.
Here's some pics:

Here's some pics:
I think the person meant the "leather" armrest cushion part. That's the only difference from the non-Shinka cars.

the leather wrap on the lids goes all the way to the back as well.
The leather quality seamed somewhat better also--if you can get by with the light color scheme.

Is someone selling those lids? Way better then the ones we have. Or better yet, mine is broken, I wonder if I could convince my dealer to order that one instead, since it is a stock item. hmmm.

Japanparts and Canzoomer sell them if I am not mistaken. Trussville and Rosenthal may carry them also--they are also available in red and chapperal as well as black.

I don't see the cup holders sliding, they are in the same place in every photo.

I do know about the sliding console cover, mine slides now every time I accelerate and every time I brake hard.
