Default Oem or similar replacement armrests? Anyone know the part description?

I've seen the wider armrests (http://www.jjproducts.net/jj_products_htm/products/Lexus_Toyota/index.html), but I'd like to replace my worn out stock ones with oem or very similar to oem size.


The part descriptions are difficult for me to decipher, does anyone know what description I should look for? At a minimum, I would need the passenger armrest (for the left arm of the passenger)

I would maybe call your local Lexus dealer and ask what to look for.

Also, out of curiosity, did the armrest break? I notice that I use mine a lot. Just wondering if I should take it easy.

It hasn't broken, just worn down the leather quite a bit. Another option is just to pick up the leather covers from JJ's link above.

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding these armrests. These are 4.5 inch wide aftermarket armrests, They do not sell covers for OEM rests.



If you want to stay with the original you might look for some used ones or simply have yours recovered.

Those are some SICK armrests!

A little too pricey to make me install now, but definitely something I have engraved into my mind now. I did a little searching and Carver is right, they don't make covers, but you can buy after market ones such as these. If cost isn't an issue, I would install these in a heartbeat. If it is, you might be able to get used armrests from a parts yard.

Carver, is this a picture of the inside of yours? If so, do you like the armrests?

also remember the lexus like most vehicles has leather 'trim'. so the seat area the steering wheel, and the shift **** are leather, the sides of the seats, and armrests I think are matching vinyl

Yes, that's my car, they're over two years old now and still in great shape.
