as far as I know the only things leather in the 07-09s (possibly 07-12) is the seats, middle arm rest , shift **** and steering wheel , nothing else.

I can say from my LS400 and LS430 days, you dont want those armrests to be real leather. The area where you close the door is a huge wear point.
yea the door handles in my 430 got very worn out but I just hate the cheap feel of vinyl

Leather can at least be refinished every couple years to keep it looking good

Yeah, I can see that but most people aren't going to do that.

I'm talking about the leather wrapped ones. There is no issue with those.
