Default Saddle Color Driver Seat Needed

Hello, here to ask for a referral for a 04 Lexus LS 430 driver seat saddle color. My current seat has a rip in the leather. I would like it repaired. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a pic of it? There are very successful ways to repair rips and tears, and restore seats to near-new appearance - that are not difficult or expensive. That may be a lot easier and cheaper than trying to find a seat that old in acceptable condition and color.

Thank you much for your insightful information. I think it's a case of not landing at the right fixer upper. I was told to get a new seat.

I would think that would be really hard to find in good condition and would be expensive if you did find one. I've heard good things about lseat.com. You might want to get their leather samples and if they match close enough, get covers from them and have a pro upholstery biz to install.

This is probably the way to go.

I’ve restored several seats and patched minor tears myself with great results. But that looks pretty challenging, though, and I think consulting an upholstery expert (auto OR home - it’s really the same technique) is wise. And in all probability, it’s likely going to be both cheaper and look better than a used seat.
