In the end it comes out less and you get an OEM.

Believe me don't worry about the steering wheel either....it won't wear off or anything. My stuff has been done for over 2 years and it stills looks like it did the day the guy repaired my seats and dyed my steering wheel. Everyone should honestly go this route if they want to keep their OEM leather and not go aftermarket.

Thank you for your kind words. There is one panel on the passenger side that I will be replacing soon because of cracking. I would like to keep the interior as OEM as possible. I would like to get a gated shifter in the future and send the steering wheel and all wood trim off to American Stitches to match the gated shifter.

Yes it was a great deal. He is a fair guy and does quality work.

He repaired the drivers thigh area and recovered the armrest. While doing that he re-dyed both seats, the armrest, the steering wheel and the passenger airbag cover so they would all match perfectly

That was my old car. I sold it for $3,000 to a guy in Miami the next day after I posted it. I still get 5-6 calls per day on it. I guess I underpriced it and I should have listed it on Club Lexus first! I kept the rims and my nav. Yes I am in the WPB area. I go to the Thursday night meets at Flanagan’s by the Wellington mall you should come out.

TJ, I miss their swordfish sandwich sometimes... That was the shizz...

It came out looking very nice, I must say. I'm in A-town but I've got some travelling to do here soon. How long did your guy need to do this?
