eBay has folks selling used covers. Or go to a car upholstery shop for an estimate. It will still not be cheap.
If your leather is not ripped, you can refinish and repaint the leather and it will look like new. I have done this to my RX which has the parchment leather.
What happens most of the time is the polyurethane coating on the crappy leather gets cracks which trap dirt and make it look nasty. You can clean most of this up.
I used a kit from
https://leatherrenew.com/
I followed their instructions and used a foam brush to apply the stuff. Get the clear coat to finish after the color coat is dry. Use pins to get the paint out of the vent holes. Use really thin coats and layer them.
There was a thread on this with photos in the RX350 forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...-terrible.html
