However, I have to agree with JungleJoe. The installer must have had problems during the install or did a rush job. The shop that I went to, totally rebuilt all my seats/headrest to make sure the leather fit nice & tight. My seats feel brand spanking new... I do notice a few wrinkles in tight corner areas whic I'm not happy about but I'm not sure if that's a leather issue or an installer issue. IMO, I would ask your shop to redo at least the headrests & maybe the rearseat that have wrinkles bro...It won't be 100% perfect but it should be better...Not to hijack your thread but here is a couple of pics of my seats from Leatherseats.com for comparison. Talk to your shop man... I'm sure you paid a good deal of money for the install. I know I did...





Hey,
On the last pic, i was wondering where i can purchase a similar cluster you have. Its dark gray with a silver trim aroudn the three circles. Thanks

You can get it from www.l-tunedparts.com or www.lexus-parts.com

If you don't see it on their websites, just call and ask for the GS430 gauge cluster bezel. You'll also need the wiring for turn signal indicators.
