    cup holder shaved

    is there anyway of removing the cup holder on a 98 corolla and covering the spot where it was with something so it looks like is was never there?

    sure, but you'd have to dismantle that entire lower part of the center console to get to it. if i recall it's held in with two screws.

    just take the cover off, its held in by clips, if you take the ashtray out and pull it comes out. then its held in by 4 screws, holds the storage compartment and cupholder together. take the metal bracket off and the cup holder will come with it

    the blue part around the heat/a/c controls

    i'd just buy a half din plastic blockoff plate.. unless you really want to learn to fiberglass (not that hard) but the material cost would probably cost more then the blockoff plate.
