Default Have anyone upgraded their leather seat interiors?

my seats are kind of getting worn, and I see that I can upgrade the seats from http://www.leatherseats.com/LexusLS_leather_kit.asp

Anyone ever done it?

I wanna see if anyone has the perforated centers on their seats. I heard negative things about them (trying to clean them) but I think it should work out ok.

Those are some pretty big cheddar... I don't know if I really want to throw down almost a grand to redo my leather, even though it's beyond worn and cracky. Feels like an elephant's behind...

Are there any alternatives, or am I just going to have to bend over and take it?

Goddammit. I hate Lexuses.

Haha, when I was rocking my F250, I got a taste of the vehicle-modding good life. Anything you could imageine was easily available and cheap and plentiful. Then I dive head-first into this BS, and well.. I suppose that's why it's so much more rewarding.

Though sometimes (like right now) I'm pissed and hate it. Blargh.

I had them done on the SC, and it was about $1300 for seat covers, new carpet, center console cover, staining the shifter, brake handle leather replacement and color matching armrests on the doors. Also, the Lexus emblem is stitched. Had this a couple of years ago, and the leather is of high quailty.

The price reflected labor of course. Hope this helps.
