Got this from the japan 'Altezza site'. Matches up with the shots I have seen for the US version so have a look and let me know what you think.

Noticed it will leave room for one 20 bottle of Pepsi....I guess it is better than the 2 16 oz can slots they have now!!

dclarke: I heard from someone that for the 2002 IS300 you can buy the factory armrest for 2002 and replace our 2001 armrest.

yes. Some of the people on this site got a deal when they bought their cars that Lexus would upgrade when the 2002 armrests came in. It might be out in Oct-Nov timeframe because they need them for the new IS but they will make them available!

2002 Yellow IS was towed to dealer 3 to 4 weeks ago with manual trans and new armrest. It turns out that one of the magazines was doing a review on the new 5 spd and wrecked it. I wish I would have been able to drive it. That is a great picture of the armrest though, just what the car needed.
