Default Front seats

Does anyone know where to find replacement front seats for the sc430. Or third party seats that are leather.

Depending on how bad a shape they are in, you can revive them (one thread on that today). Others have sent their seats to have the leather replaced at a shop. You can also check junk yards or the PartMyRide website.

Welcome to the forum. What year is your SC430?

I have a 2002 sc430. I have been slowly modifying since i got this car from my brother about a year ago. But my family bought it new in 2002. Leather needs to be replaced due to its conditions. ill upload pics in twenty mins when I get home. But ill check that website out. Also I just saw on eBay they had two seats for sale for 1089, which seems a little expensive since there used.

Holy moly, looks like someone rebuilt an engine, and used the seat as a workbench.

Someone on here had bought new leather from Amazon I believe. It was a real close match, and way cheaper. I'll look and see if I can find it.

Justin, here it is. The part about the new leather starts at post 13. $299 for the new leather to recover both front seats and center console. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...and-after.html

Perfect that solves the problem. Now the next thing is the carpet itself. Any products you guys recommend to get rid of tough stains or tools like a steam vacuum?

...depending on the color or how bad the stains are, you might consider dying them to a darker color

Yea I could do that but honestly I think it will look best to go with the covers and spend the extra money.

best carpet cleaning imo is zerorez as they use boiling hot alkaline water. No soap. You can drink it,

No residue. And I live in a white carpet house.

no idea on the leather. But it's bad already.

they have a big truck and a minimum so maybe either you drive the car to them or do your house and ask about the cars carpeting.
