Centre Arm Rest

[Moffet]

I was also told by the dealer it couldn't be done, but I bought one from a member on here and had no problems fitting it.

[Rory]

So does anyone have a link to anywhere that sells arm rests (preferably not too expensive) to fit cream interior?...

[BenMMellor]

Doesn't look to bad that! I'm sure those that have fitted the OEM arm rest will voice opinions and thoughts on fitting one.

Thought I had a reciept for the for the Armrest of one of the previous owners of my IS. the part number is 589055300c0 at www.lexus-parts.com They are in Dallas. Hopefully the currency conversion should n't hurt too much. I'm in Ireland and on the yo-yos. they also have them in cream as well. Maybe we all should be ordering of this crowd.

Hope I helped out.

have emailed them for a total cost onc shipping to the uk..

anybody interested in a group buy?? maybe we could arrange this??

[sparkystav]

$309 plus postage which apparently they'll email you after you order because its outside US.

But still seems cheaper. About £150-£170 plus postage.

just don't like the look of the eBay one.

I've just mailed them and asked how much postage would be to the UK and if they're consider a group discount.

So just got to wait for an Answer now.

me too!!!

Just had an Email back from the Guy saying that its $48 postage so that $357 in total. which i work out to be about £180 delivery.

Still not cheap but beter than Lexus.

I've emailed him back though and asked about a group discount on postage or the items if we order all at once.

6 of us so far then, you think we can haggle for £125 per unit if bought together? I don't mind paying that much, thats a $600 discount off the full order though, so the more people who want one, the better....

[Yaumeister]

Whoever is organising this might want to start a thread over at the "group buy" forum, might make it easier for those interested to register their.... interest?

Oh and add me to the interest list.

[sparkystav]

we'll just wait till he sends a reply about a discount or not.

[Rob's Lexx]

will these definitely fit the UK spec IS200 seeing as they are on the US market???

[sparkystav]

Well i don't see why not and it's where Fred's Lex got his from and it fit.

[sparkystav]

Just got an Email back from the bloke regarding group discount:

Marc,

As your idea sounds great, the center armrest is already heavily discounted. Our current volume is 3-4 of these a month to owners residing in Europe (5-10 within the US). Our pricing has been calculated for this projected volume.

On the chance you are able to purchase quantity 50 of the IS armrest, only then can a discount be applied as well as a combined shipping rate.

Again, I thank you for the opportunity to assist,

So its not looking likely we'll get them any cheaper but still a better price than Lexus UK.
