This is the price Tony charge the used car dealer and auto broker. Hope you can have your armrest wrap soon. I am so embarrassing with co worker when we go lunch together and they asking what happen to my car armrest before wrap. So I know how you feel.

You are correct. Just called Tony's Trim Shop (770-2792-1117) sounds like he has been doing a lot of LS460's. He couldn’t work mine in til next week which didn’t help me. I’m coming up to the area from Florida Thursday thru Sunday and was hoping I could get my 2009 LS460 panels wrapped.
I’ve been fighting Lexus local dealer and corporate for almost a year with No Luck. Very frustrating.
Has anyone heard if there is a class action law suit in progress for this issue?

Toyota replaced the dashboard on my 40k mile 2008 Solara Convertible SLE with zero pushback after it developed a couple sticky spots. New dash looks great. I'm not sure if purchasing 7 Toyota's from them in the past 8 years made a difference or not. Sickening to hear of all these troubles with Lexus, a brand, I naively and ignorantly thought for decades, up until reading through this forum, was bulletproof and approaching perfection, even at 200k miles and beyond. This forum has been a wealth of great information about the good, bad, and the ugly regarding Lexus. I would like to give a big THANKS to all participating members for their shared wisdom.

maybe their doors and dashboards don't melt in 10 years, but the rest of the car does..... while their quality is improving, I have many friends with top end BMW's, Alpina's, 760's, M6's, etc, and the amount of time they have to spend taking their cars in for electrical, mechanical, and yes, cosmetic defects astounds me. Those dumb enough to keep them beyond warranty, few have walked away without spending $5k to $10k annually for surprise issues. I guess I hoped Lexus was not perfect, but much better than the German's. Air suspensions, brake accuators, control arms, melting dashes - all before 150k miles, is certainly a shock to me, but I'm thankful for this group's education.

No machine is perfect, and nothing lasts forever. These issues are not issues EVERYBODY has you have to bear in mind.

As far as the front door panels I bought from a scrap yard we're off a LS600H and the whole door panel is stitched leather clear up to the window sweeps Yes they do fit the LS460 I have 190.00 each side

Just had mine done here in Southern California on my 2008 LS460. I was getting really tired of looking at the sticky and dirty door handles and I know that Lexus will not do anything to fix or replace them. So I had all 4 door handles wrapped with the same color as the window trim. It took them 2 days. Couldn't be happier with the results. I'm posting before and after pictures.

I had this same problem and found a great shop in Naples, FL that reupholstered the arm rests and window sills on all 4 doors for $900. We did the armrests in the same dark color as the sills. It looks so much better than even when it was brand new...should have come this way. Before this I was so mad I wanted to sell the car, but now I'm in love with it again. Peppy's Auto did it and I highly recommend them. My dash is still good.
what about the top part of the brown trim? How can I get that part?(above the wood trim
