Default Sc400 seat recover kits?

I've searched without luck, and was wondering if anyone has a link to getting front seats recovered, factory style?

Thanks in advance,
Doug

Clazzio is also a popular option.

I LOVE Clazzio seat covers. A friend has a custom set. Amazing fit.

I've got the leatherseats.com skins and they fit like factory leather but no where near the quality and the color is a bit off. I was actually disappointed. Just my two cents.

Leatherseats.com is a very excellent quality seat cover. They have the normal and the deluxe kits. The deluxe is pretty much 100% leather. The leather is of excellent quality too. I know as I have owned a set back when I had the stock seats in my Lexus before I started all the major modding.

They fit very well too...But they need to be installed properly so there are not so many wrinkles. The leather is different than the factory which is a smoother, less pebbly grain.

You can always go custom and use very expensive leather like I did...When I modified and rebuilt the SC430 seats and installed them, I used Ferrari leather and double french stitching...Cost me a fortune as the seat covers were custom made. The labor cost me $3,500. But, I covered the door panels and door handles and did the center arm rest. So, it was quite a project. See the stock SC430 seat and what it turned out to be afterwards.

^^^ That's some insane craftsmanship. I was pretty happy with how my DIY leather work came out, but I was just following the stock pattern and hiding my stitching, not putting it prominently on display!

Does anyone have pictures of their clazzio seat covers? I've been thinking about getting them, but I've never seen them in a SC before.

My son wanted a two tone look on his and they were in horrible shape so I took them to a local guy here in Athens GA and instead of leather I went with a vinyl that had a leather look and he recovered the front, back, head rest & arm rest for $500. I liked it so much I had him do my sc300 in two tone grey.
