Thanks for the heads up man. I was worried about that.. Like what bluelex and I were talking about earlier in this thread, I'm so **** now getting in to the car. I sit down very slow making sure nothing scuffs the suede.. I take my wallet out of my rear pocket and place it inside the door so the wallet doesn't rub on the suede. Worse part about this is that I have to train the g/f to get into the car slowly. The first time she got in, I lost my breath. She jumped in, slid down the back of the seat and forgot she had her eyeliner in her back pocket. Thank god nothing happened to the seat...

During the summer time that may be something I have to do. Out here in Cali when it gets over 90 deg for several months, sweaty backs will not be good for the suede. I'm also thinking of scotch guarding the suede to make the cleaning easier...

BTW: Interesting observation... My NOVA suede in my trunk actually beads water up without it soaking in. The suede in my seats soak water in which is not good if you spill... Different quality of suede does interesting things. The suede in the seats are meant for durabilty and the suede in the trunk is meant for looks and feel...

Okay, no one else has asked, but I have to know an approxomation of how much this cost.
Looks great by the way.
I'm thinking of painting my car but I would have to fully redo the interior.

Leatherseats.com had a huge GB in the vendor forum not long ago. We got over 20 members to pay which cut the price down. I believe my setup was around $720 for leather/suede seats, both arm rests, and all 5 headrests. That also included shipping...
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=148888

Install I got a very good deal. Expect to pay between $450-700 for install of the leather. You can also do the install yourself like some of the SC guys have done. But it is a pain in the butt so be prepared..
