Here is a picture of a Black w/ Black Suede Centers SC we did...


Unfortunately I dont have any pictures of it installed so I will post a picture of a Black w/ Black suede NSX we did here...


And just so you can see some of the contrast, here is a picture of a Black w/ Burnt Orange suede 350z...

They are the actual upholstery seat covers. They arent slip covers like you buy from Autozone or whereever. These are made to replicate the factory leather seat covers so this is basically a presewn upholstery kit for reupholstering your factory seats.

Rite... I dunno, I just can't see how they would fit correctly. I mean w/o bunching up or anything like that. he pictures look alrite i guess. The NSX looks the best... but, i think $800 is a lot of money to spend for seat covers.

Yeah the Brides no doubt. But not in red, they really do look "import". But you can get leather wrapped Brides or you could rock these. These are what I'm shooting for.

Price is for one seat... that is roughly $1550 per seat.

JZZ30TT: What you have on your current seats are seat covers. The leather/cloth that is in your SC or whatever car you have is just a seat cover. Its made by Lexus/Toyota and then installed on an assembly line. Our covers reproduce those so these are like going to a Lexus dealership and asking for all new upholstery for your interior. They dont install over your current leather... they install in PLACE of your leather. So $800 is a great deal compared to the about $1200 a seat you would get from Lexus.

Ok, well I guess thats a little better, but (no offence) why do your seats look like cheaper leather than factory? Maybe it's just the bright colored ones than look ghetto i dunno.. it's just something about them looks off.

I am not sure why you think it looks "ghetto"...

Here are a couple picture of the best factory Ivory SC Interior off of ebay I could find...





Here a couple of our interiors installed correctly by a ClubLexus member with no prior experience...




Maybe the problem is just a concept you have about leather that isnt nessecarily true. It could be the fact that the ones that I posted were all two-tone custom seats and you just think single tone seats look better, I dont know but most people like ours very much. We currently have 3 Lexus dealerships that buy parts from us because Lexus charges a lot for the same pieces and their customers have liked our interiors.
