Default Where to get OEM leather replacement seats?

As I mentioned in the introduction thread, I'm importing a '93 Soarer (RHD and all). The only down side is I'm not seeing any over there with leather interior so I want to replace it. All I can find is "leatherette" seat covers. Any insight?

I just read another thread about everyone loving the ebay seller Leather-Seats over the website. Just sent them a message.

Besides that, the '93 Soarer has crap-tastic cloth seats as is. Will the SC300 covers work for it?

JDM Soarer rear seats have adjustable head rests, pretty sure the USDM Lexus had fixed head rests.

So the covers will be different.

Nope only the top-optioned V8 Soarer's have the adjustable headrests on the back seats. I've also spent several months in Japan and didn't even see one with adjustable headrests. Also, you can ask ACLEANSC4 - he looked for several months if not a year+ to import a set with the adjustable headrests. SO... They should be exactly the same, although I've not taken the seats out of my car to see if the leather is shorter on one side or the other due to switches and stuff. Anyone know as far as that goes?

Well an RHD soarer isn't usually imported to go granny cruising...... might as well throw some aftermarket seats in there like some Brides and get it over with.

I agree. Why add extra weight?!
