New leather for my 2002 GS430...
I am the only one out there who likes the leather on a new car for about the first 6 months? That maybe an exaggeration but after owning my GS for 5 going on 6 yrs now, I definitely am considering going with new leather.
I've heard of some peeps buying leather from vendors advertising "group buys" here on Club Lex for $650- $850 over the years but I want to make sure I get Lexus quality product. After all, it is the seat I sit in everyday for at least an hour and it is the best car I ever owned.
If you have any experience with new leather for Lexus or know anyone who does please drop me a line. Much appreciated and Happy Holidays to all!

I noticed that the Leatherseats stuff isn't quite up to par with the Lexus original leather. The stiching and everything is perfect...it's just the leather they use is much thicker and rougher. Seems like it's more suitable for long term use and has good wear and tear properties. The Lexus leather is much finer/thinner and feels much smoother but the downside is that it seems like it will wear out faster. I guess it's all just a tradeoff. Personally I'd like Leatherseats.com to use finer and thinner material vs the thick stuff they use right now.

The company that makes the leather covers for Toyota/Lexus sells kits to the public as well. I will have to dig into my files to find the name. I have used them for several cars and they have been what you would expect from oe.
