- Will these fit straight in or requires modifications ?

Please help !!
Many thank in advance.

If it's just the seat cushion (the part you sit on) leather that needs repair, have you considered just getting those panels replaced by an auto upholstery shop? I got an estimate to do the same on my '93 ES. It would cost about $200 per seat to replace the seat cushion leather. Might be something to look into if you can't install seats from another car.

Well Iggee makes custom leather seat covers for these cars. I have them in my car.
They make them for the 92-01 ES300s I think. http://www.iggee.com/shop.cart?action=CAT&ccode=LEX001

Uhm...I think you meant custom "synthetic" leather seat covers.
Synthetic = vinyl.

But if they worked for you....awesome!
