Default F Sport Red Seats

Hey guys. I have a 2010 Lexus IS250 and i wanted to know if you guys knows where to buy the F Sport (Red) Seats anywhere. The dealer said that i would have to buy a newer model of lexus in order to buy the f sport seats because there are no f sport in the 2010 lexus. I figured that one he was trying to make money and two 2nd generation IS are all the same so the newer things could fit the older models as well.

I don't think we have red F Sport seats in 2nd generation.

Even if you find them, it will be costly for parts + labor. You are probably looking at couple thousands of dollars here.

Another cheaper alternative is buy the racing seats cover of color of your choice.

Here's my red seats


But really. I don't believe 2IS's ever had red leather seat options. 3IS seats may be direct bolt in, but unsure of the feature connections.

Thanks! I have a Harness bar, yes. It's behind the seats in the pic, it's a darker red color.

Aside from being harder to get out of the car, I really love them. I miss the support of them when I drive my is300!

There's an IS F with red/black seats but that'll be thousands! I reupholstered the sides of my seats along with the headliner, all pillars, arm rest edges, shift boot and e brake handle. Try an upholstery shop and get a quote.

Would you recommend getting some or keeping the stock seats?

I didn't want to loos my power seats and heated/vented option so that's why I reupholstered them.
Here are the red F seats from the factory which would be THOUSANDS! Also added a red wheel for fun.

I want the red leather seats from the 3IS so badly in my 2IS. I cant find it in my gut to spend the thousands to get it reupholstered though because black on black is a good combination too!

What’s the link to these seats and harness? Did you need to do any conversion to make them work or get the 4-5 point harness to run on these seats
