Judging by their prices, I think it will be full seat covers. Basically, you will have to remove and disassemble the seats and reupholster them with new leather covers. But I have no way of knowing this for sure because I have never ordered anything from them.

For carpets and door cards, local junkyards is your best bet. You will have to leave a request to the owner and hunt for a car that will be dismantled. Then clean - wash - install.

You can also check out car-part.com for the contents of junkyards across the country. Some of them are willing to ship the stuff at a reasonable price.

That's not going to happen unless you find seats at a salvage yard (good luck). These kits are for the leather covers only, no cushions or anything else you do upholstery work to replace them.

You guys think it's possible to take my car to a Lexus dealership and have them do an interior swap? 😂

No, I do not think so. They won't be able to get parts for it since many of them are no longer in production. Or they'll rob you with a $$$$$$$$$$$ bill out the door.

The seat belts are simply bolted to the sides of the front seats. Once the seat side cover is opened, there is one bolt that holds the seat belt in place.

Default Carpet mats or cover

Anyone know where I can get floor mats or covers to cover the ivory carpet in my car? I'm slowly swapping my ivory interior into black and I don't want to swap the carpet due to its complications. I'm looking for a mat or cover that has FULL coverage over the oem carpet so I can make it look black.
