Curious if they are creasing or holding their form? I have Roja red interior, and after 2k miles I only see one minor crease. Pics are appreciated.

Although I don't have a crazy amount of miles, I am at 7k and they're just like new.

I'm well over 20k miles and the seats are looking great. They scratch very easily though, but so does leather.

I had about 10,000 on my 2014 IS250 FSport when I traded it for the 350. I had red seats in my 250.

The seats were fine. In fact I think they held up much, much better than leather. My leather seats in the other IS models I have leased showed signs of wear and creasing after a year. That didn't happen with my 250. I never could stand the fact that the leather would wear and age so quickly.

I also have the red seats in my 350 and I expect the same level of performance from them. So far I am very pleased with the nulexe seats.

When they scratch, is the material underneath a lighter color like the leather in the 2IS (making the scratch more visible due to the contrast)? Or is it less noticeable?

I wear jeans 95% of the time, so the sliding in and out has stained the seats a bit. i haven't tried getting in there and cleaning it with anything as of yet, hope it will clean out somewhat. Also, probably because of the constant wear and tear of the jeans, they have ripped a bit into the seats as well. Blahhhhh. I am going on 19k miles thus far.

Do you roll out of your seats or lift your body before you exit the vehicle?

I noticed if you roll over your seat, it'll do lots of harm to the seat.
Especially with jeans, there's lots of friction pressed against the seats to cause tear.

I use the natural shine wipes, helps make the seats a little bit of a slip and slide, easier to maneuver around.

I have 7K miles and I have some wear creases in the bottom bolster. It looks wavy compared to the passenger seat. Nothing big but not at all wearing as nicely as the genuine leather seats in my X3 that has 33K miles on it.

I have the standard seats in NuLuxe. 9 months and 6k miles and they still look new. I love them, and they are holding up much better than the leather in my RX, which is also 9 months old.
