Swapped over and turned them upside down. They are angled in slightly more than stock, but honestly, for me being the only one who a)drives b)frequents the vehicle, it's just fine.

I'd rather have this than a vinyl cover.

Agreed....

Maybe so, but yours are vinyl.

Mine are leather, and with it being summer, I wanted to spend as little time doing this as possible. The garage isn't ever below about 94F, this time of year, even at 5:30AM.

The Vinyl is easier to clean, the person you bought from sells both Vinyl and Real Leather. However, both fit very loosely. I wanted a OEM look with good fit and finish. Also the stitching on mine is identical to OEM. Not to mention, you can't tell that it's Vinyl. Looks like leather and feels like leather to me, although I'm not a trained professional. LOL

To each their own!

I'll be honest, I find the new positioning/angling of the armrests swapped is actually more comfortable.

That angle would drive me NUTS!

Why not just buy the covers, take the armrest's off and take them to a leather upholster , have them stich on the new covers...shouldn't cost to much to get them stitched in. That is what I am planning to do on my Rx i am even planning to get my seats repaired or replaced witch ever is cheaper cause they are worn and cracking.

Truthfully, I am so focused on driving when I drive that I have yet to notice my armrests are actually different than they were 3 weeks ago. I'm a stickler when it comes to original, so unless the upholster can get 14 year old leather from Lexus, I'm totally fine with the swap. Let's face it, the car's 14 years old. It's worth what it's worth. If I go to sell, I can swap them back and I'm sure it would barely affect the value considering that's the only interior blemish. And as I've said, the angles are not as drastic as the picture makes them appear. You can only try and see for yourself.

Well I'm sure they can match a color of leather for you I have done it a few times but it your case it doesn't matter to you and that's ok but perhaps my ocd is getting the best of me lol
