ES 350 Leather Replacement
 
I have a stain on my rear seat of my 2010 Lexus ES350. The option from the dealer is to replace the entire seat which will cost $$$$$.

I also have been looking into car leather repair facilities that can replace/repair the stained area, but am having a hardtime matching the perforated parchment leather.

Is there a OEM or that can match the Parchment leather exactly? I'd prefer to go this route rather than replace the entire seat.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

An option might be to use a leather restoration company like Fibrenew. They could remove the clear coat and the dye on the seat. Then re-dye and add the clearcoat. If this works, it would cost a LOT less than replacement. I used Fibrenew to re-dye and clear coat my wife's SC430 seats. It made a huge difference.

A wild-card measure would be to have a junk yard...oops, I mean auto recycling center look for one on their "grape vine" from a totaled car.

Right now on e-bay motors, they have upper and lower rear seats in parchment color for 2010 at $495 upper, $450 lower. Click on e-bay motors, put in search Lexus ES350 seats, select price highest and they are there.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I need the entire passenger side fixed at a minimum since one of the places I took it for repair snipped a piece of leather off to "match" the leather.

I already have a question into the eBay seller to see if the seat actually has the perforated leather. I cant tell by the pics if it has that or the same stitching as my model, but I assume it should be the same.

You may check some salvage yards. I've not used any for my Lexus but have had some luck with other cars in the past.
