Default 1998 LS400 Seat Covers from Ebay

Hello Everyone,

I would like to cover the seats in my father's LS400. I've heard some rave reviews about the Rocky mountain sheep skin covers.


I haven't be able to justify $400-500...just for front seat covers though!
After spending such a fortune the rear seats wouldn't be covered. Come to think of it, not even the front head rests are included.

I think I may have found a more economical alternative.

Wound you get black? They do offer other colors but I seem to like black.

What do you folks think?

Cheers my fellow LS drivers!

1-item description is for a '90-98 toyota tercel
2-crap quality fabric. if you have jeans that are more expensive how do you think they justify selling it at that price and making money for several times teh amount of fabric
3-most likely of poor fitment
4-safety issue due to 3, side impact airbags in the seats likely not cut out in the new "covers"

Plus, the front covers are one-piece. It would probably put too much stress on them if you raise the headrest. They just can't be good quality for that price.

I'm glad I consulted before I pulled the trigger!

Those are some very valid points you have raised. I just emailed them inquiring about those points.

PD..do you have any seat covers on yours?

Thanks PureDrifter & deanshark.

Hey Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion!

Have you considered Rocky mountain sheep skin? There are some rave reviews on it by LS400 owners on this forum. Did I mention your wallet will be left less empty.
