Default IS300 seats?

I can get my hands on a fresh set of IS300 seats. Anyone ever try fitting them into our chassis? Black seats might look a little funny in my light grey interior but I love the seats so I might do the black seat covers for the rear to match.
Anyone ever try this?

My advise is to try it... Tell us how it worked out. Worse case, you sell them again.

I say give it a try is300 seats are sweet! The shop that built my car Fantasy Motorsports in St. Louis was able to retrofit a set of 02' GS300 seats into my 1995 GS, one of the best mods ever done to my car.

Default 2nd gen seats in a 1st gen

As far as the electrical Fantasy Motorsports in St. Louis were the masterminds behind this operation. My close friend Christian Alexander worked very hard putting together a custom harness after many hours of work going through Lexus wiring diagrams. From what he said the largest obstacle was the fact that the 1gs doesn't have memory seats and the 2gs does. Thanks a lot to Christian for getting these seats in my car to fit and operate just like stock!

For anyone interested in this seat modification email christian at nolagmtrsprts@juno.com

Can you do a write up on the install? Or maybe post some info from the manual
