I'm on it guys! they're figuring it out for us as we speak. They have a family contact with Nalley Lexus, so I believe they are headed there to take some measurements for us. I'll get a few done in a "bone" color for you guys with the grey interior, rest in black...likely go with cherry blossom red stitching for the black ones and maybe a nice blue thread for the bone? Figure the blue would look good for the "F" highlights. It'll be a few weeks, but I'll keep everyone updated Also, several people have said they'll donate some for shipping...if you live on the other side of the world that would be appreciated. I'm NOT looking to sell these...just helping out.

2 black ones with blue thread for me please.

I have used Meguiare's Gold Class Leather conditioner but I see where there could be wear marks in the future as the conditioner wears off in less than 1k miles.

Maybe I should buy some
CQuartz or Ceramic Pro Leather as a harder protector as well.
I did get break through wear on my IS-F seat leather after 50k miles only using Meguirse.

Ditto here on the above...

Folks,

Carnevino generously offered to send these for free and that's great. If it turns into a money exchange for the product then he (or whomever making them) needs to sell through a CL vendor or become one themselves.

Let's keep this thread open please (posts edited). Thanks.

Bone color with blue thread would be interesting. Please add me to the list for those. Thanks!

I would appreciate a black one if you have any left over when you order.

I picked up my car this morning from having the leather replaced on the upper portion of the driver's seat. That is the only part they replaced so now I have to see if I can get the lower portion cleaned so it doesn't look like new leather and "older" leather. They even kept the old magnetic leather strap that holds the seat belt in place.

Hopefully this isn't an exercise that I will have to go through every 5000 miles. I know some of you have provided options to protect that portion of the seat, however, I don't feel like I should have to add something to a $70k car to protect the leather from rubbing away.

Anyone get any of these from Cavnevio. I left my request but have not heard anything in the last 2 months.

Probably the seat belt pads. I guess if you strap down those pads with the leather strap on the side of the seat, the belt shouldnt touch the seat anymore. Thats all I can real think of! I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Yeah I saw that one on Amazon, looks pretty nice in the pic, sort of a carbon fiber look to it.
