The bride is cool and whatnot, but the saddle is even cooler!

You're going to do what you want to, but I wouldn't. Your interior right now is rare and the best combo. Depends on what your goals are. Assuming you keep the car for a long time, the bride will look trendyish when you you look at it in 10 years. Whereas it'll look classic still if the leathers crispy. I don't hate the bride but it just screams hey i trying to promote my car over here!

Edit: It makes sense on jimmy's car. He's trying to promote it. Just what i meant.

I definitely keep the saddle leather. It's a Lexus.

Cool

My friend has a 1998 aristo jdm, JZS161, V300, with the midnight blue cloth and blackwood. It's definitely not a down-grade from our leather GS interiors. It's like no cloth interior i've ever seen in a car before.

For my silver car i do like the black leather, but on his white i think it suits the car very well.

If my leather interior was magically replaced with new-quality Aristo cloth interior, i wouldn't really care. Although being in Canada I do love my heated seats which i'm not sure came on the cloth.

As for the bride interior, i think it's a little much for a sedan. Especially since there is a lot of "Real estate" that would have the BRIDE word plastered all over. I do like their seats a lot but the name is kind of weird imo. Your interior right now is great imo.

It's not suede but the Toyota cloth is some real quality and comfortable material

This is my bro's Harrier (RX300) back in the islands. Tan interior with no special attention given to it. Still looks mint today.

I say hecks noo!! That should only be in a 2 door 2000hp car that would never be comfortable to daily drive. I think those seats would defeat the purpose of a comfortable 4 door luxury car. Scratch that itch! But ill buy your interior from you if you go with cloth i love your interior

The saddle looks so perfect in your ride. I think the Bride would be a downgrade looks-wise. Blue suede, however, would look pretty sweet.
