I kind of like my 2006 model colormatched ones from the factory, but I think this looks good also.

Yeah, I thought it looked very one-piece-ish, but you can't necessarily tell from the picture.

That would have been neat if you could pop in a high capacity fan.

Oh well.

Damn the view of the inside of the seat makes feel like it must weigh about 150 lbs at least

Default Need some help...

Not sure how many people have tried this but I got my seat clips in... I am trying to install and I have taken off the carpet straps... Now the carpet is connected to a light, do I have to disconnect it ? I can not seem to find the 2 screws to take off the back of the seat...Anyone share a few tips to finding these screws. Thanks , I am installing on black leather so I will post some pics...I also just finished installing the Lexus Japan Side Vents... They came out really SWEET !!!

Thanks for sharing this mod, it is a simple yet clean mod !

Thats all there is down there for cooling? A computer fan? No wonder why the vented seats are so lame.

$13 each.

your dealer is greedy.

I can't seem to find a separate listing for the drivers seat side on My Lex Parts. This is all I found:

Cover Right - Passenger seat - Passenger seat
Cover Left - Passenger seat - Passenger seat

Looking at the old covers though, they appear to be the same pair on both seats. Did you just order two pair of the above?

So the '08 covers are the same size as the '06? I'm gonna do this. Thanks BigDave! Lexus of Fife quoted $22.77!
