this is from memory, but i think it covers it all:

- first you remove the center armrest (two screws in the back, two screws under that small rectangular plastic cover under the e-brake.
- then, unscrew the shift knob, unscrew the two screws on either side of the of the shifter console (at the footwells).
- remove the ashtray, unscrew the screws behind that, pull out the lighter panel (there are also two clips holding the lighter panel in).
- once the lighter panel is removed, you should see two more screws holding the shifter console. unscrew those and it should then pull out.

i believe the cup holder will come as part of the shifter console, and it's only two screws holding that in.

hope this helps.
