Lightbulb Can We Talk About Seats!!

Hey everyone, I have a few questions about the seats in our cars. I would like to know if anyone has replaced their seats with another model lexus? Had their seats redone? And if so, how much did it cost to have the seats redone? I want to replace my seats but with brown leather. If everyone could post pictures of their interior, I would to see them. This post should lead to a sticky from all the ideas and suggestions Thanks!

I've done the leatherseats.com. Something like $700. It took me about 4-5 hours to do.

I just wipe mine down with a damp paper towel. Then after that i use a Meguiars leather cleaner/conditioner. Here is a link to what i've had work great for me. My seats have 140000 miles on them and look almost perfect. Not bad for a 1993. This is the best picture i have without getting the camara out and going into the garage.
