I inherited an 06 es330..love it but the seat cushion is worn out flat. The cover, and the back cover are toast but my main concern is the cushion. Can anyone recommend some options? I would reallly appreciate it.

How much are you willing to spend?

Hey...depends on the firmness/age of the cushion

not sure if this is the best way to go..the cover will cost as much

That's the best way to go. You wish the cover was around $200 it is $1000 from Lexus.

thanks for the affirmation and replies. I guess ill just go that route. ha..yeah I def cant get the lexus one..(my wife and I are both teachers so we have to learn to cut some corners)..what I was referring to were some I found on ebay..sure they are going to be pleather...but it doesn't look like the lexus ones were of very good quality...its the perforated ones...I think that's what did them in. There are only remnants left.

But i love this car. getting the timing and valve cover gaskets done on monday. it has 140k on it..i hope to get 300+ out of it. there is an 06 es on youtube where dude has 600k on it and still looks tite.

Gen2 ES has incredibly durable leather after that it went downhill. As you found there are leather replacements on Ebay but don't think I've seen any perforated versions. They don't look exactly OEM either.

ES330 is an excellent car has very few flaws. And even though the 2GR-FE is more powerful I still like the 3MZ-FE better it is bulletproof.

I have the same issue, perforated seat cover is torn on the drivers side. The previous owner told me it was reupholstered so obviously the perforations are not a good idea. Foam cushion is also torn but in my case it is not completely worn flat. I've thought about just getting front seat covers or spending $150 for one of the leather replacement covers you can get on eBay that are supposed to match the grey leather. We only use the car about once a week so is not on the priority list.

You could probably use the original cushion as a template and try to make a replacement. Foam and glue from Hobby Lobby or Michaels should be pretty cheap. Will take some time to get the shape right though.
