I'm also looking for this.
The facelifted models have the ones covered with leather (and also the GS), but it has white stitches. If there would be one with red stitches, it would be a perfect match to the F Sport interior.

The new IS F-sport has a red stitched arm rest that matches your IS interior. I have it myself in my 2014.

It looks really good. It's shape is very different tho, how did it fit?
2014 looks like this:

Did you change some more parts and bits for it to fit?

My car is a 2014.

I had to switch the entire cup holder console plus joy stick area. If you look closely in your car you'll notice that's all a single piece.

After collecting all the parts the install is not too hard. You do need to trim away some plastic for the new console to fit but with a little direction from me you could have the old one out and the new one in with-in an hour.

Here's a better photo of my center console. You can see the cup holders are also different from your 2014 as well as the computer control buttons being different.



idk photo showed up extremely small

Thanks for the explanation, it sure looks very good and that's one hell of a job you've done.
But I'm still wondering, if there's just a wrist rest for 2014 models that's leather with red stitches. I drove a 2016 GS F Sport for a few days as a loaner and its wrist rest looked like it would be a direct replacement for mine, but it had white stitches.

So you just want a direct replacement for that wrist wrest bump part?

The only thing I know that's available for that little spot is carbon fiber one from seibon.

I do not have the part number handy. Sorry.

You need, leather wrist wrest, the entire center console piece that goes around the joy stick/cup holders area, cup holders + trim, 2017+ control buttons, leather cover.

I think that's it. You can directly swap the 2014 joy stick into the 17 console but there won't be screw holes to match up on one side. I double side taped it in place.

Pretty much, yes. I've seen the carbon one, but that's not what I want.
I'm wondering, if a leather one from any other models would fit or if anyone offers the leather one with red stitching.
Another option would be to get it covered with leather ofcourse.

Buy another OEM one and bring it to an upholsterer.
