I have the leatherseats.com kit and the quality is decent, I was expecting it to be top notch but it wasn't. THe quality is acceptable..If I had to do it over again, I would go to a top tier upholstery shop and have them piece together a kit to my liking. The thing is the price is probably 4 times as much but the quality will be hard to beat. The original Lexus leather is the BEST fitting, the only way to replicate this is if you let a competent upholstery place do the work.

I have seen pictures of the leather-seats kit and I'm not impressed. The fitment is off in most of the seats I have seen. I would pick leatherseats.com kit over them any day of the week if I had to choose between the two..

Thanks for all the feedback so far.
I am conscious that you cannot get the best leather quality and fitment from eBay, but I had leatherseats.com leather before and it was actually really nice.

I just bought some leather-seats covers a few minutes ago for a really good price. I will install them when I get them in a couple of days, and will post pics to show you the quality. I will also do a review/comparison to the leatherseats.com kit I had before.

Thanks.

This is the kit I bought:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...Q5fAccessories

This kit can also be purchased at a fixed price of $499.00, but acording to other members you can make an offer of about 450-460 and they'l take it.
I personally like the auction better since you have a good chance of paying much less, even with the $75 shipping charge.

I will let you know how this one works out.
Thanks.

I bought from the same seller. I got black with red stitched leather for my 93 RX7 and I had to send it back THREE TIMES because they couldn't get it right.

In the end, I got what I paid for (and they accepted my bid of $340) and they are as good quality as the leatherseats.com covers in my SC. FWIW, they paid for return shipping every time. I just couldn't understand why they didn't just send me what was picture in the auction... strange.
