I saw a GS300 with saddle interior last week and it looks amazing in person. I'd trade my LS for one with the saddle interior but never pop up for out here.

I did find a super rare white on black 05 LS430 for sale last week. That's even rarer than saddle.

That is a really nice combination. One of the main reasons I bought my 2002 ls 430 was its interior color, black with a rose colored wood. Black really helps with my grand daughter's stay, and the rose colored wood was simply something I'd never seen or thought was available.

White/Saddle is such an awesome combo. For years I didn't even know it existed. When I bought my car I came across a black/saddle but passed on it with a heavy heart mainly because it is so difficult to keep black car looking clean for long. White/saddle on the other hand...I would have jumped on it instantly. Congratulations for owning one.

13 years and my leather is tired. Any ideas on buying new leather?

Describe tired? Dry, cracked, both? There are good leather repair kits at leatherique that may do the trick but if you are saddle that may be a chore. Perhaps some local shop can assist. That is where i'd start

Default Want my seats leather to look like factory leather.

Leather is not cracked. It's shiny and loose like the pad has worn down. The new leather on many cars looks tight and much more luxurious. I have a hard time trusting an unknown shops qualilty of leather or work.

+1 on Leatherique, it's a product that I use on customer's cars and it always leaves them wowed when they see the finish product.

Super wright up. Heat will be no problem in Texas. The shiny of wear is my main objection.
