Cover for cupholders in 2013 model?

**jbayless71** · #1: 03-31-2013, 01:42 PM

It's a small thing ... but I really liked the sliding cover over the cupholders in my 2009 Legacy.

I don't usually eat or drink in my cars, and it gave the cabin a cleaner look. However, in the 2013 the cupholders are permanently open, at least in the United States.

I've read that the 2013 Legacys sold in Japan still have a cover over the cupholders. Anyone have a pic of that and lnowledge of whether it would be a doable mod for a U.S. Legacy?

Thanks,
John

Check out the write up in the mod thread. You can swap in the JDM parts to make this happen. A bit pricey for what it does (since you have to replace a lot of trim) but the end result look great and is OEM.

Thanks! I actually did search the forums for this before posting, but I must have been using the wrong terms. Good to see folks have it figured out already.

Didn't mean for it to sound like an asshole. I just wasnt sure if that is what you meant. Good luck with the conversion if you do it... And of course post pics!

I was more concerned with me sounding like a noob -- your tone was fine.

That mod is third in line. First I need tint and the deflector for the front. I also have the CVT transmission, so I need to figure out if the plastic around the shifter will interchange. Looks like I probably need to order that piece too.

Thanks,
John

I am going to guess you'd have to check out the corners or the cvt of the jdm and see if it's different from usdm like the manual is. I would say it probably since since the manual is but who knows. I don't known if you'd be able to tell through pics or not but worth a try
