Default 2021+ Lexus RC Center Console Retrofitted into my 3IS

HI Everyone!
Was inspired by 3ISFsport RC center console swap as well as m1919_tscc!
since my car was a Non-Nav model it required a bit more research to find the correct Upper Center Console but definitely worth it in the end!

Final Product on my 2018 Lexus IS 300 F-Sport

Nice! I like the choice of trim and the alcantara console lid.

Thank you guys! Definitely love it and complements my red rioja interior very well! Alcantara arm rest is very comfy but love the leather arm rest so much more than the stock IS ones!

Is it possible to just swap the long side arms?
Left Side Part #: 55012-24100
Right Side Part #: 55011-24130

Or we need to install everything listed for this to sit properly?

so i got my hands on a wrecked 2015 RC F sport and i got the complete centre console.

just wanted to ask is the plugs for the touch pad and the control module **** match for a 2018 is300 f sport with nav?
or would i need to make a new plug or what not does anyone know?

Sadly it does not i have tried and holes dont align properly maybe if you really wanted to, make some holes to cut into the oem center console shell but not sure how it would really sit!

Awesome find!
to answer your question quickly, no they do not!
You wil need to make a plug converter for it to work i believe Rodney still makes and sells it if you pay him
Insta: https://www.instagram.com/typerod/
i think he sells it for like $50-$60 for the adapter since he makes them with OEM part i believe but he should be able to help or at least guide you on how to do it.
It is possible just need to make an adapter for it to work is all as well as cut the wire from the is so it can reach that far since the original wire doesnt fit that far but ill post more of the guide on what i did later on this week so you can see what i mean for the cable cutting!

P.S. just so you know those are will not work on your 2018 car, we got the radio model refresh so you need the 2021+ Side arms i posted above those 2014-2020 arms sit behind the radio and not on top as you can see from my photo! that was the hardest part to find and only at a dealer i was able to get those but i provided the part numbers for you already to find, but also Red Rioja to my knowledge does not exist for 2021+ i think it was changed to circuit red or Rose red!

i found by chance a 2019 lexus is300 black line edition and they have the centre console panels with the red lining, wondering if anyone has that part number
i found photos of it, this might help people who want that red matching with the roja red and i guess you can vinyl wrap the console arms too,

What's the story behind the knot hanging from your windshield? I've seen that way more than anything else. I have no idea what it means. Some secret cult?

I’m curious if those Circuit Red panels near the blind spot, trunk release area and red glovebox would fit on my ‘19 RC. Never seen anyone try it yet. I know the door panels wouldnt fit since I have a coupe
