Hey everyone, I finally found the perfect gs for us, 07 gs350 pearl white/black with ML, parking sensors, nav the works. Anyways while I was car shopping over the past few months I noticed most of the cars I looked at had tears k&n the leather on the b pillar where the seat belt hits it. So it has the white plastic exposed.
I tried searching but didnt see anything, is there a common fix for this? Thanks guys ill haven't pics in a few days once I detail it and switch out the wheels and tires I have in my garage

My car had it too when I bought it, it can be fixed by most upholstery shops, or you can bring it to the Lexus dealer and they will bring someone in to do it for you. Costed around $80 ish depending on the size.

The car has some horrible tires on it, a brand called triangle, they are just cheap and loud. I read a lot of horrible reviews so to avoid that ruining our new lexus, I already bought a set of new michelins primacy HPs on 09 gs350 wheels, cleaned them up and they are ready to be put on saturday or sunday night when I get back in town

Yea I remember a few months ago when I posted up what I was looking for everyone was saying how hard it was to find, and you told me it was worth the wait. I really just hate tan interiors and how they show wear a lot faster than darker interiors. I almost gave up on getting the starfire pearl white which we love, and was going to go with a silver one when we found this one, called him up and put a deposit on it pending the test drive and inspection lol. We found an AWD one but we really dont need it and would prefer the extra mileage and less maintenance.
Ill post up a new thread once I have it back, detail it, switch out the fluids and wheels and tires. Im having my tint guy come by next week to tint it out and Ill be doing a few easy mods with the ML bypassing and what not. Thanks for the link, if Lexus wont replace it Ill be ordering that up!
