k...here are the details:

the headrests......well I figured out, the installer swapped the backs for the fronts and vice versa, so when I swapped em back last night, looked ALOT better (but they are still somewhat wrinkly in the corners)

not a big deal IMO


the headliner-it is sandstone suede, which translates to a light brown which is the same color of my inserts....as for LXOGOOD's comments-I shall snap pix of my seats in full this weekend and then I want you to tell me he did a bad job



they feel BRAND NEW, and yes with your ideas I got, I had him rebuild up the seats completely with all new foam-as well as the inserts in complimenting suede.


thanx for the compliments guys, this install/whole deal cost me a MINT!!!!


for the locals, whenever you wanna see it, feel it, feel free to holla


i just have to say suede > leather in terms of comfort, looks, feel, and everything else

Seats look really nice and soft. Is the maintanance on the suede the same as leather or does it involve more?

NT2SHBBY,

I am going to purchase a leatherseats.com kit relatively soon. Do you have any recommendations for a installer in the NY area?

Default headliner

I know about how much the leatherseats cost, but how much of a extra budget was the headliner, and side pieces

bro...can I tell you? you are THE MAN.....and not because your lex is soo hot, but you are such a down to earth kinda guy.....definitely not the typical lexus snob type..


thanx for the compliments...would be honored if you would show up to my first/subsequent BBQ's this summer



btw the suede cost me $50 a yard (cost)-I bought 8 yards and I paid $2,000 for the labor for all that work....turn around time was a staggering 2 days!!!!

was that $2k for labor alone? or was it including the seats covers, extra suede and labor?
