Im young and I'm new to this car PLEASE HELP!!!
HI everyone I'm 19 and I just bought my first car which was a 94 lexus Ls 400. I only paid 1400 for it so I think it was worth it but it has a few problems. The frame of the driver seat is bent. when you try to adjust it only the left side of the seat moves the rest bents into the center console. The interior is ok but I need the number to a good interior shop in chicago or close to it because I want to remove all the upholstery and dash and get a new color. Please help.

Actually Chaos,
I think you did good by starting off here in the Chicago regional section. You maybe able to get better "LS400" specific info on the LS section of the site, but as for local shop info, there are a couple of places I know of, and one place in particular that I've worked with on one of my previous cars.
There's a place in Elgin that's redone the whole interior of my Prelude. I have the shop's contact info somewhere. I'll have to find it and get back to you on this post. BTW guys, this place does a lot of OEM leather repair work as well....the guy that runs the shop is a pro in doing low-rider interiors. When he sees the things we ask for, he kinda just laughs and says that he can do it easy.
He does do OEM work easy....and best of all, CHEAP (at least as far as interior work goes).
I've thought about adding a little color to my car's interior with getting either sage, cinnamon, or blazing red inserts on the door panels and seats.

BTW, good pikc up on the car at the price you paid for it. What kind of mileage did the car have, any exterior issues, or anything else that you'll need to take care of?
Only reason I ask, is that if you need any recommendations on getting work done, ask for it. Alot of us here have a lot of experience with local shops of all things car-related.
