Sry guys - I have no idea where to look for this. I got the cupholder for xmas and it didn't come with any install guide. Just need a pointing in the right direction...

Are there seriously no online resources for this? Guess I'll have to try Google again...

Okay today was a nice day so I decided to try putting the cupholder in. Oh my god I bet you the Hyundai engineers are over there in frikin South Korea laughing their asses off everytime they picture someone trying to install this damn cupholder. My main problem was the two screws on the side facing the door - one you have to unscrew backwards (after first finding the screw blind) and the other seems completely inaccessible, blocked by the console just barely. Anyone with the cupholder - how'd you work around this??

drill holes through the side of teh dash right to the screws.. youll be fine that way, since those covers will cover your drill holes up...

Thx nisco, knew there was something I wasn't thinking of. Anyone have any tips for that one screw I have to get at backwards? I can't even align the screwdriver perfectly straight thanks to a stupid metal bracket right there that seems to serve no purpose (still have to try and find a smaller screwdriver tho, like - really small, heh)

Well I did it :) Thanks to all you guys who helped me out. I drilled through the panel to get at that one sideways screw and the one I was bitching about doing backwards I realized you can get at if you shove your head all the way back under the dash and look back up you can see the screw and just barely fit a screwdriver in there to get it. Yegads what a pain in the ass haha.
