I recently bought a 2021 LX570 with the three row configuration because I wanted the Mark Levinson upgraded audio system. Has anyone heard about any dealers who will remove the third row seats and replace the rear quarterpanel cargo interior panels with the two row version? If so, I think I would want to do this because I believe when the third row seats are removed there are ugly holes remaining in interior side panels... Thanks for any info on this...

 

I've been researching the same and it seems removal of the 3rd row is a pretty simple procedure (a few bolts & a wiring harness per side). Storing the seats for future use is a bit cumbersome but that's another conversation. There are also folks 3D printing covers for the holes in the wheel well plastic (with some even adding tie down points). That's the route I plan to go. If you were to replace the rear wheel well plastic with the 2 row version (if even possible), it would make reinstalling the 3rd row much more difficult (and costly if you didn't retain the old plastics). Food for thought.

 

Thanks for the good ideas. Can you share where I could contact someone making 3D parts to cover the holes?

 

I saw them here when I was researching 3rd row removal: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/3rd...hicle.1204947/ If you scroll through the thread there are a couple of links to various options

Here's some pictures of mine after adding some 3d printed panel covers and a 2 row mat. If and when I purchase another LX, I will be looking for one with 3 rows just to pull them out and do the same. This way adds some extra tie down points and it's easy to tap into the constant power for the power fold rear seats to add some 12v outlets in the back.

The covers I purchased came from this shop in Australia. Total cost shipped was roughly $125 usd and that included the D-rings. You have to email the company to make the purchase. Scott Kerr is the guys name and yes it's legit and safe.
