Can someone post a good picture of a stitched factory door armrest? I’m having my armrests wrapped tomorrow and want to have an idea of what the factory stitched armrest looks like.

What year? Most 2007-2012 had vinyl one-piece armrests (except those with the special leather package). 2013+ have stitching on all cars.

I'm not 100% happy because it was supposed to be a different color but I think they did a pretty good job. It matches almost perfectly and it looks way better than the factory material. I paid $175 per panel. I had it done at Orlando Auto Upholstery on Orange Ave. Really good guys over there. 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.

I think it looks good. Out of curiosity, what color were you hoping it would be? Were you trying to create some contrast between the original leather color? Thanks for posting where you got it done. I have black interior and hate how the door panels turn white/grey every couple of weeks from the oils, dirt, lotion, etc. from everyone's hands. I will definitely be doing this to my car. Our LX 570 has leather wrapped panels and I think it makes a huge difference in the "feel" of the interior quality.

Last question- how long did they have your car?

Huge upgrade!!

Wow, if I could have got that done, I might have kept my 2007! Did you get all 4 doors done?

Wait.... so the lower stitching on 07-12 models denotes the semi-aniline leather option? Or is it the upper stitching?

SW17LS

The lower stitching. All LS460s have the upper stitching.

I wanted to get a charcoal color like the top of the door to have contrast but I’m happy with the look. I dropped it off in the morning before work and picked it up in the late afternoon/evening after work.

I only got the front doors done for now. I wanted to see the quality of their work. I’m happy enough with it to get the rest done. 98% of the time I only have a passenger in the front so those two were in the worst condition, especially the driver’s side one.

For $175 per panel that one of the better deals I have ever read on here. It looks good to me. I think you are better off than getting the charcoal.
