DIY Cupholder solution
An alternative take on additional cup holders.
Got a pair of folding cup holders from Amazon in black plastic. Spring loaded arms keep drinks in place. Also available in stainless for those wanting a more robust solution.
Mounted one on the passenger door pocket and one on the dash between the stereo and the glove box using a simple bracket.
No interference for the glove box...
just have to give it a coat of black paint and done...
Make it look purdy - match the texture finish on the angle piece.
Those ones on the door panel look similar to what honda odyssey used on the sides of their mid-section seats.

I'm thinking maybe a black crackle finish to match the dash?
I first saw those folding cup holders in Germany when I was stationed there in the early 90's.
I think I might put one on the driver's side too...
BTW, $12 bucks on Amazon for two cup holders.

To repair dashboard cracks, auto interiors, etc..., a few years ago, I made reusable reverse grain mold skins (product mix from Mohawk finishing).
For these items, instead of spray painting, one can easily etch a similar or identical grain finish to match the dash grain finish. These mold skins, a heat gun on low high heat - carefully applying the heat over small areas and then applying the grain mold with light pressure onto the soft product surfaces and then removing the grain mold. Leaves an imprint on the finished surface.
On this dashboard example, had to melt the fill in, let it solidify and then reheat with a heat gun and apply the skin, then air-spray to match.
