The leather looks good but I would suggest you go to a pro upholster to get rid of some wrinkles and add some foam. Its going to look way better!

Lexol will never fix wrinkles. That is not purpose of lexol. Its to condition and perserve the life of the skin, no cracking etc.

Katzkin is deff a nice kit,the best fitting one by far. Only thing I hate about them is they are soo much money and they still use vinyl in the centers thou!! I wish I had the money coming in to afford it. End of the day vinyl is ***** and doesn't belong in a lexus

Not really to worried about the wrinkles. The upholster did the best he could do with the Chinese covers. I mean they are seats that are ment to be sit it, not a museum piece. I had them all ripped up before this is a deff improvement.

I filed a claim and paypal bent me over and *****ed me royal. They said since he gave me a partial refund (shipping was refund because it took so long) they couldnt give me my money back. I had to eat it w.e though

It was L2 that I got. Its nice leather, not the best but its half hide which is like a 7/10 on leather scale (10 being Rolls Royce style)

I'm just saying man you spent 650 and i spent 300 more...thats why i said save your money....katzkin centers arent vinyl they are def leather now the sides and the backs might be vinyl but thats just like the oem stuff.

950 for the kit and another 400 for install. Not worth it for me and the cars value to spend over double then what I did.

Looks good though great job on the install, sudda had u do mine LOL

The moral of the story, leatherseats.com has the closest match and at the right time on ebay it's not that much more. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-like-new.html
