IS Armrest Padding

Hello all! Thanks for reading my post.

I've had my 2008 IS250 with 55,000 miles for a few months now. After a long road trip over Memorial Day, I noticed that the central armrest padding has reduced to nothing more than a little bit of leather on plastic. So my question to you all: Is there anyway that I can add more padding?

Responses are greatly appreciated!

only way I can imagine is getting it reupholstered or adding one of those VIP armrest pillows.

My armrest is starting to get worn down too, and personally im not into the whole VIP-car-culture

Thanks for the reply. I'm with you... the VIP is just a bit too cumbersome for me.

Guess I may just have to deal with it! :P

The armrest isn't really that padded to begin with. I think you're just noticing it. Anything can be done with respect to the armrest. You don't have to go big to upgrade the pad.
