Default replacement seats

hi, this GS i was looking to purchase had its seats and interior spray painted.... it is pretty bad... rough and really cheap looking.

is there a way to get the paint off?

if not, how much are replacement rear seats and front seats going for?

you are talking thounsand of dollars just to replace those seats, especially, the front seats with the motors. check out the Sewell Lex vendor, they list the price of this seats. you may can print out the seats price list and show to who ever you are going to buy the car from, so they can discount for it. good luck.

If the price isn't right, just keep looking.

I Agree!!!! Unless your getting it super cheap!

And what was the previous owner thinking?? He should be slapped for doing that to a GS.......A CRX is borderline, But a Lexus????

Probably watched Fast and Furious WAAY too many times lol.
