Anyone ever mod their Sonata with a new dash kit?

 I broke the plastic cup holder on my 2002 Sonata and to fix it my dealer
quoted me nearly $250. Seems outrageous for a piece of plastic that
probably cost $10 to make. There's a place that makes very slick looking
dash kits, anyone tried one of them? It would be from this place:

 These look like stick-on veneers. Caveat emptor.

Dunno. I've got a 2000 Sonata. My cupholders are a particularly
dumb design in an even dumber center console -- anything I want
to put into the cupholders seems to be the wrong size; and if two
people, let's say, get identical sawdust shakes, only one will
fit -- the other one won't. With the cupholder door closed, the
slippery, sloped, oh-so-deco contoured surface makes anything
placed on it it slide off. The swing-open compartments are too
low and too far back to support my elbow.

So if your console is as good as mine, why not get out that
hacksaw, mix up some epoxy, and go to it!

Because it didn't break by itself. I had placed a bushed aluminum cup
in there and the grip handle pushed against it inadvertently cracking
it. It's so paper thin I am not surprised it cracked.

That's kind of the problem with modern cars. All the molded plastic is
very sensitive and there's no one-size-fits-all on the cup holders. My
2002 Sonata also has the one big one small layout. Two of the same
would have been just fine. It still blows my mind that the replacement
plastic costs as much as it does.

Ha, don't tempt me. It'll do it up like a Mad Max mobile or something!
Extreme Hyundai makeover. Cheers.
