check out this

My 94 doesn't have the rear headrest or the rear arm rest. $9000 retail???


editted ebay link
Sorry guys, but word from up top is no more ebay links in the forums . If you're interested in these seats, log onto ebay.com and do a search for: "Lexus SC 300 or SC 400 Seats"

No way these are SC/Soarer rear seats. They fold down to expose the gas tank in all it's glory? I don't think so. The rear seat cushions are about three times as thick as SC400 rear seat cushions as well, which puts the backseat passenger's head through the roof.

My guess is that these seats came out of a Toyota/Lexus SUV.

hmm strange, where did you notice it could fold? The kind of look like the front ones, the way it is stitched. Maybe some of the soarer owners could show us some pics of their rear?

It looks folded down slightly in that picture. Also, what's that chunk popping out in the middle of the rear seats? I mistook that for a swivel joint at first. Maybe it's just the crates propping it up in the background, I dunno...

I just looked at a JDM Soarer rear seat and it looks to be the same so I guess I was wrong .

No way in hell are those Soarer seats (the ones on sale at eBay...). Here's the real JDM-spec seats...

i saw those too on eBay! hehe, but i don't think those are JDM seats from Japan. Those are for the LS400. I have a 96 sitting in the garage and they look identical.

If you take a look at the rear seat... notice how much "cushion" and leather there is. there is no way that it will fit the SC. If you've ever taken your rear seat out, you'll know what i'm talking about.

Also, look at the fold down arm rest... that's just like what my parent's 96 LS has!

I'd rather just get a pair of soarer cloth seats, no cracking, fading or anything else to worry about.

Are the LS front seats like ours too? Anyone selling the rear section of the soarer in grey? Please pm me with a price if you are. Thanks
