I noticed on my wife's 2006 RX330 that the interior door handles have a bottom. So the door handle is a great place to put change or other personal items. I started wondering why the LS460 doesn't have bottoms the door handles.
So I found my 15 year old son's "kiddie carpenter" set (from when he was about age 4) and doubled side taped a 1.5" by 5" by 18" thick piece of wood. You cannot see the wood when opening the door unless you really look. And I would guess that I'll need to put some felt or other cloth to keep change from clanging against the wood. But I am SURE this will come in handy.

Whoops! It's not the first time I overstated the size of my wood! At least this time it was an honest mistake!
I meant 1/8th" inch, obviously.

Interesting idea, I too have noticed how the RX has storage in the door handles (the ES has had them too). The LS 430 has the same go-through handles as the LS 460. One thing, the storage spots tend to collect dust and need to be cleaned, that may be why the LS line doesn't have them.

I don't buy the dust theory. LOTS of things in ANY car get dusty if you don't clean it. That's what a shop vac is for!

I DO keep change in there. The door handle is for more change or to plop my iPhone or comb or whatever. Just an extra place that doesn't appear Mickey Mouse (you can't see the bottom) for very little cost/work.
