Default Leather to leather+alcantara seats...

So, my friend has an '05 IS300 with leather only seats.

She wants to find/trade to leather+alcantara seats.

How difficult is this?

Do most people prefer the alcantara seats, or leather only seats?
Are the alcantara seats more or less expensive than the leather only seats?
Is it an easy detach-then-plug-and-use if she wants to trade with someone?
Is it easier/possible to buy the alcantara seats, switching, & selling the old seats?
Are there aftermarket alcantara options that provide as good quality and fit as OEM?



We need advice...

It may be best to go to a shot that specializes in this and have the mid sections of the seats done and leave the outer portion with the leather....

Not sure if there are Riggs Bros in your area but they do great work in IL

Good Luck!

Post pics also please. I have considered this for my IS so long I keep it long term that is
