Hello all, new LX570 owner here. I'm loving this beast, but am thinking about getting some high quality sheepskin seat covers for it. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can begin my search? Google turns up loads of places, but it's hard to tell who has the good stuff. If anyone has any thoughts on the topic, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance,

Erik

May i ask why??

Sure. A friend has them in his 470 and really likes them. He says they are cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter and help preserve the leather underneath. His are generic in that they are not custom fit to the seats. I was hoping someone might be aware of a source that offers something a little more high-end. Ideally, the wool would be very short and not fuzzy. The natural color of un-dyed wool should be very close to the color of the leather, so it shouldn't be terribly gaudy. Thanks for any insights you may have.

Ahh...thanks for the explanation. Sorry, i am no help. Personally, i would stick with the leather seating. You have cooled & heated seats, right? I would just use that system. Will you keep your LX long enough to actually wear down (tear) your leather?? And i am not sure if good leather condition will increase your resale value that much over natural wear-n-tear of aging. The money that you spend on the highend wool covers will more than likely pay for any less resale value due to aging leather seats.

Good luck with your search.
