Default new leather?

I have some spare cash to spend on new interior and I decided to go with 2 tone seat leather kit. My interior is grey and I am not sure it will look good. I only have a pic of such seat covers but never seen them personally. How do you think would that look?

I myself have personally sat in and examined Katskin seat covers. THey are very good and very nice, you won't go wrong with them trust me. You can get custom embroidery too. The leather was very nice and soft, however this was in a Honda, for lexus I dunno, I was quoted $950 from "Streetmasters" for two tone black/white car covers.

those guys have a kit for the LS for $625. Also include door inserts and center console handle. I am trying to decide on the colors though.

thx for the pic. thay is what I am going with...as far sa style but different colours. Going to be 2 tome charocal and light grey inserts. Placed an order already.

What pissed me off about Lexus is that they do not allow those guys do logos on their seats. I will have to get a custom job for that.

From what I know you can do it yourself but it would take a while and you need some tools. I will get pro do it for me since I want it done right the first time. I paid 625 and they will match my interior colours. Pretty good deal I say!
