That seem like a lot of cash for a simple job. Check around at your local interior shops to see what they would charge. As long as you're stitching a logo on it, why not make it something a little more personal, like your nick name, favorite team or car name.

I was going to try and keep from making it completely personal, just in case I decide to trade/sell the console or the car down the road.

Default armrest

Vinconist...carbon looks pretty good. Did you notice your carbon if facing in a different direction as the rest of the carbon. To the op.....white centers look like crap and get hella dirty! I've seen many show cars with white interior and they just can't stay clean. I would probably stay away from the white stitching too cause that will eventually get dirty as well. Maybe the silver like on the sides of the ashtray?

not really feeling it. a giant lexus logo on the center armrest is just too tacky imo. you can consider doing blue stitching with alcantara or something though.

Wow, that looks pretty good Viconist! Did you wrap the whole armrest, or just the top to the seams?

FYI the white will discolor over time, especially from the oils/sweat that you secrete.

Also, you might wait and check for sure before you get excited about the logo. It's licensed and even some places that do dash mats won't stitch it in.

Switch it to IS-F or something then. The circle L logo is everywhere.
