I pay little to no attention to back arm rests as I never sit back there and very rarely have back seat passengers. BUT, those are absolutely beautiful and I would be willing to spend a few hundred dollars more on the MSRP to have one like that.

Hello!
I'm doing some research on my own as I want to get an upgrade to a Lexus ES. Came across your thread about the armrest which led me down a pretty big rabbit hole but I think I got some answers. The complete diagrams of the rear seats and part numbers from this Japanese auto parts website are included. The fourth picture is the one needed for our conversation (though the topic of the other rear "executive" features did pop up and are included in the diagram as the "separate" seating in the 4:2:4 seat ratio), looks like if you want to do the conversion, you need 72830 (check coloring) and 72806b. Now unfortunately I have yet to come up blank with how to remove the old one and install the new one also its at least $660 dollars and that's before taxes and shipping fees from japan. If you have any new information regarding how to take the old ones out do let me know, because despite how useless this swap would be for most people, I carry a people in my rear seats often and when I make the upgrade to the ES I'd like to give them an upgrade (and also have bragging rights with other ES owners!

Alright, order placed. We will see how it goes. I ended up selecting a European spec vehicle for the armrest parts. They had more options that closely resembled the North American market:

Great. Did you get the 3-zone armrest?
