Help with replacing leather or damaged seat

All,

I have a 2007 GX470 (tan leather) with permanent stains on the passenger leather seat from sun block. I have looked into having the stained areas replaced, but would like to do so with as close to orginal leather as possible.

I saw Guitarman's original post in the All About Leather Thread, and have a call in to GST about obtaining leather.

The question I want to throw out there is, has anyone had leather replaced and if so were you able to get the orginal type/style of the OEM skin?

Also, does anyone have or know where to find the seat parts diagram? I have seen it once at the parts department and it lists the various leather panels that can be ordered. Of course, Lexus wants a small fortune for the leather sections!!

Thanks for any help or guidance,
Bob
