Question New Leather Needed-Can I do it?

As everyone know with a 1st generation LS400 the leather goes bad and there is no way to fix it other then replacing it.

Where is the best place to get the kit?

Can a marginally mechanically inclined person do the install? Or should I bring in for the job?

Anything I should look out for?

Do they need to be restuffed?

Any help is appreciated. The ride is a '92 LS400 with 170,000 miles on the clock and my guess is that I can run another 150k without a problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I did that to my interior. Purchased the kit from http://www.autoaccessoriesrusfl.com/ (make sure you tell them you have a fabric interior) for around $600 and the installation was about $250. Restuff the seats while you are at it.

They are all the same, from Katzkin. Just get the one that has more peices and costs less.

I have a question... isn't it hard to do it yourself... because of the springs in the seats of our 1st gen LS400?
