In regards to the seat massagers, are they just a vibrating massager or one that you feel movements? Can this be ordered without the heated seats? thanks

What about embroidered "ARISTO"? Would that be a no-no also?

Jeremy: I'm most probably in on this, but before I make a commitment I need to see samples. Do you know if any were sent out?
A couple more questions:
1) I assume that suede inserts are more for cars that aren't daily drivers? I'm guessing that there's more upkeep and doesn't wear as well as the regular leather? (Looks & feels great though.)
2) What, if any, are the benefits of perforation? Is there a greater tear risk over time?
3) Which leather color do you consider to be the closest match to the GS tan/beige interior?
Thanks,
Jerry.

BrownDuckz: E-mail me at jeremy@leatherseats.com.
CTgs300: Payment is due after the group buy has ended and you have placed your order. That will probably be next week or the week after. As far as color options and so forth on the older GS, there is only one real option. That is called two-tone centers. Because there arent really any horizontal seamlines in the interior kit the only way if can be made is with a secondary color up the middle of the seat. I will post some pictures...
Garnett: I got you down.
LexAristo: I am not sure what you mean by your question. They are basically 6 different nodes that have motors in the middle of them. The motors spin and cause a vibrating motion. The nodes are installed INSIDE the foam so you will have to cut a 2"x2"x1" or so square out of the factory foam and then slide the node into position. The answer to your seat heater/massage was posted a little bit ago. I will copy it here. It should be all you need to know plus more.
Tenoshii: Yeah Toyota/Lexus actually contacted us specifically and asked us not to use their logos on our website, or leather kits. Honda has never cared so far about us doing the logos. We unfortuately cannot do Aristo either because Aristo is the same thing as GS. We cannot do any of their logos or anything related to them without their written permission. Doesnt matter if its JDM or not.
engin_ear: I dont know if the swatches were sent out. E-mail Bill at billc@leatherseats.com and he should be able to tell you. Our suede has better "stats" on the wear tests than our leather does in most cases. It is a bit more sensitive to UV rays, but its still fine for daily driving. Its about the same as a cloth interior as far as daily driving and wear and tear. Perforation is completely aesthetic. There might be a slightly decrease in wear and tear stats, but not very much. The biggest problem with perforation is cleaning it because little dirt particles like to fall and get caught in it. From past experience, Adobe is the best match to the newer GS interiors and Sandstone is the best match to the older GS interiors.
morris: The suede will breath better than the leather. It will act much more like cloth since it is a synthetic "UltraSuede/Alcantara" type suede. It is stain resistant and moisture resistant and it can be clean with a mild soap. So if you did get it dirty you can scrub at the little stain with a small brush and soap. Fairly simple to keep clean, but it is more delicate than leather. Its probably around the same as a cloth interior in ease of keeping clean.
chicagoblknazn: E-mail me at jeremy@leatherseats.com and I will get you pricing on the fronts only. There isnt a lot of savings in doing fronts only and depending on what you are trying to match to we probably dont have a "perfect" match.
mdw131: Lexus vehicles only, and about 80% of our customers do the installs themselves. It is up to you though on weither or not you can install it though. http://www.leatherseats.com/pages/installation.htm

We can take the other little heating pads that come with the massage kit if you just want the massage part, but its only gonna save you like $15 bucks or so. The manufacturer says not to install full seat heaters that would cover up the motors. I am not sure why they say that except that maybe there is a possibility of over-heating the motors if they are on too long. The heating pad that comes with the massage kit is just a small little pad that is more of a "therapeutic" heat and it is designed to be placed wherever you would like on the seat inbetween the motors so it doesnt cover up the motors at all. I personally dont really see a problem with installing the factory seat heaters on top of the motors, but you can make a decision based on this information.

Ok, so I need some more time to think about this. Jeremy or Bill, how long is this going to last? I need to prioritize my purchases. My race car needs some parts as well as my GS needs brakes. I will know within the week if I am in or not. I just need to sit down and figure out what all needs to be bought and go from there.

Jeremy, I sent you a email, no reply back yet though. I want the color to match the early SC400 interior, not sure if its tan or sandstone? Also I want Color piping, the Color of the dash in the SC( I dont know what color you call it?Dark brown?) Flat peferated inserts and I am not decided on the massage system yet? Couple of questions
1) How strong or the massagers?
2) How many are there, and do you guys give instructions on specific placement to achieve max comfort.
3) Do they roll up and down or do they have alot of little pads that vibrate?
4) Do you have any pics of the system?
And can anyone who has purchased the massage system care to comment. What you do and dont like
