Looks great! I may consider something like this when my arm rests get worn to the point I can't stand to look at them anymore.

Southern California, Florida, maybe Texas and Arizona - that's where they know how to do good quality auto interiors for a respectable price. They rest of the country - a crapshoot!

After I mentioned to them that it was the wrong color they felt bad and were willing to re-do it at no cost to me and even said if I changed my mind to go back later and have it re-done. Sorry for the low quality photo, it was taken with my phone.
That turned out very nice! Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad they matched the interior I'm really satisfied with it. It's so much better than before, no more sticking to the armrest on hot days. Definitely worth the investment.

Looks great! If Lexus didn't end up agreeing to replace all my panels I would have definitely spent the day in Orlando for this! I wonder how much they would charge to re-wrap my center console armrest.

How far are you from them? If you're too far just give them a call to see if they can give you a rough estimate.

It looks much more straightforward than the door pull - I'm thinking maybe $50-$100. However, the center armrest cover is real leather so I'm not sure if that might be a problem. Did they use leather or vinyl on the OP's door panels?
