Default bellezza seat covers

Seached but couldnt find much on the topic.

Has anyone used bellezza seat covers? What is the fit, quality and feel like? Especially for a first gen.

Psls400 might be able to help you. He had seats that fit the UCF11 Celsior CF package, which he sold in 2014.

Keep in mind, the CF package seats on the Celsior in Japan are different from LS 400 spec cars.

Here is his old thread, where he sold the covers.

I did see that FS post. I have a imported celsior cf package. Just trying to track down a original rear seat as it was swapped for a normal once.

The company that makes them is Clazzio, there is a US branch that imports.
http://www.clazzio.com/quilted-type.php

They have good fitment but they are Vinyl covers that sit ON the seats, not replacements for the factory seat covers.

Leatherseats.com sells replacement leather skins.

Emailed them yesterday and they showed absolutely no interest in making skins for my 97LS.Must be nice to have such a successful business that they can turn down potential customers.

Don't forget that making new skins means spending the time and materials to build a new set of templates. If the expected return is relatively low it's not unreasonable for them to make the business decision that they aren't worth it. Considering the general condition of the leather in '98-00 LS' i'm not surprised, they wear quite well.

Also, while 89-94 LS400s use the same skins, 95-96, 97, and 98-00 would all need separate templates.

Had a look at them, for a basic set they are $750usd which is probably fair but more then id like to spend

I don't want to think logically, I want to be angry!

Interesting...I recently posted OEM drivers seat from a 1998 LS400 with almost perfect mint condition leather for $350 and a few tire kickers did not expect to pay that..

That's because that price is quite high.

You can buy good quality interiors (complete set of seats) for WELL under $500.

Picked up a complete late model IS300 interior (seats f+r) with airbags for ~$300. Finding someone local who's parting out a car helps a lot.
