2001 is300, they don't have armrest at all right? they don't start to become standard until 2002.

you can get the 2002+ one and put it on, or you can get some aftermarket ones

Are you in SoCal??

If you were thinking about getting a custom one made, you should contact AirStream in Huntington Beach..

They made a few hundred of these back in the day when many 1st year IS owners experienced the no armrest issue..

I have one and love it!!

check out this thread and it will tell you how to install a OEM armrest and how much all the parts are. I have done this and it's well worth it.

I think it was around $125.. for a custom piece that replaces the small oem lid with a taller longer leather/vinyl material that matches the brake handle look..

I have the "Long Armrest"

Here is a pic..

Hi rominl
Where can I get some aftermarket ones?

If I only knew this when I had my 2001 for 4 years. My only real gripe on the car. I didn't want to spend $400 on the OEM, only reason I lived without it.
