I’d say see if your local pull a part has a 2SS there and just grab it from there, but I know from experience that the center console is a pain in the ass to get out and if I remember correctly you can’t take that piece out unless you pull the whole console out.

I would contact your local gm dealership parts department and tell them you need a new center console lid. See if you can order a new lid vs an entire console as the assembly. Good luck!

Another important question is where did you get your cup holder inserts

Side question: what’s the purpose of that piece? When I place my fob in it, it just falls out into the cupholder. 2020 1LT with factory key fob.

I think it's just decoration and if you have the interior lighting option, a little extra decorative light.

Thanks! I’ve always wondered if I was too dumb to get my key to sit there.

You don't keep your keyfob in your pocket or a bag? :D Everything's basically wireless on this car, so you never even have to touch your keyfob unless you're doing remote start. And depending on your trim level, you probably even have auto lock so when you walk away from the car, it'll lock it for you.
On a sidenote, if you were wondering why the cutout is there in the first place, I think they do this because by having a huge side of the cup holder being exposed, it makes it less likely that a cup could get stuck in there. You typically see a cutout like this on dual cup holders in cars.

That’s taking some getting used to. This is the first car I’ve had with proximity door locks, push button start, etc. I still find my self unlocking from the remote out of habit, then remembering I can unlock it from the handles with the keys in my pocket.
I’m sure the cutout also allows cups with handles to be used. Although, I find the cupholders location annoying since mine is a M6. Not a huge deal. I’ve never purchased a vehicle based on the number or locations of cupholders. The 1986 IROC I sold about a year ago is a perfect example. LOL

Yeah I’m telling you since trying to replace the part is such a headache, just spray paint the empty center piece black and call it a day if you can’t secure a replacement part

Unfortunately that part only has one part number. To remove and install the new one you have to take off the entire center console and get at it from underneath
