Well, the seats cost about 250 shipped (each) so thats like $500 for two front seats.
-They are new, but they won't match the interior and the tan color is off.
- you will have to worry about retrofitting these seats into your car.

You can consider replacing the leather with genuine leather. The replacement kits cost $575 shipped. If you can install those yourself, then that would be a better 'investment'

I ordered them through Ebay. They should be here by Saturday (Check out the "New Leather Seats" Thread for updates)

Cool

$.02
Replacement leather seats would fit the look of a Lexus premium luxury sedan (entry-level or not) much better than racing seats.
