Default centre stack knee pads

In Canada, on the non F-Sport IS350, you do not get the nice centre stack leather knee pads on the base or premium packages. You have to go to the luxury package. On F-Sport, you get them on all models.

Does anyone know if they can be bought through parts and added after the fact?

Thanks,

Dash

Same in the US. My base IS350 has hard plastic pads there, and I have wanted to swap them out. You can get them from Sewell and installation would be a snap (literally) but it won't be cheap.

With the ClubLexus discount, these parts (55435C, 55436C) are $146.50 each.

My interior color is light grey -- I wish I could get them in light grey NuLuxe. I think they only come in black, with interior color-matched stitching -- so I think only the stitching would be grey.

I have an F sport with light gray interior. The knee pads in my car are black with gray stitching.

Thanks hades, how do you get the club lexus discount? I also wonder how much of the dash has to be taken apart to fit them in there. You mentioned that it is a snap, do these just pull off and snap in?

Yeah they literally snap on/off. If you refer to the Lexus Remote Start instructions, one of the steps involves removal of these covers. http://is.sewellparts.com/pdf/PT39853141.pdf

To get the discount, you have to register on Sewell's website, and in the registration process you can verify somehow that you are a ClubLexus member.

I had to create a new account once I found out about it - you put in your "user name" on the bottom of the registration. Well worth it!

Awesome thank you! These should match with the tan interior as the steering wheel and dash all have the same stitching.

BTW... 8.5MPG sounds about right! ha!
