Replacement seat leather source?
My daughter's '99 RX has a tan interior, and the front seat leather doesn't look very good. It's better than the ones I seem to find on eBay, though. I've seen a couple of sources for replacement leather. I know it's a do-it-yourself project (I changed out the seat heating elements once), but I don't know the best place to get replacement upholstery. I've seen leatherseats.com on this site, and I saw bestleatherkits.com on eBay. Has anyone bought replacement leather? Any recommendations for me? Thanks!

I had the drivers seat in my 1999 RX repaired at an automotive upholstery shop (Don Elkins) in Fairfax Virginia. They have access to the OE stuff. I was happy with the result.

I had the driver's side bolsters, lower and back, redone. After 10 years and 165K miles (mostly local driving, so there were many many times getting in and getting out) they were shot. Cost me about $300 as I recall.

Can you try phrasing it without the full website address, maybe spelling out dot com?
I think it's blocked by the forum. I appreciate the input. JAB, $300 seems very reasonable for leather and labor. Durable so far?
