Why dont you just go get a horse blanket and lay it over the seats then
No seriously. you should look into just swaping seats with another car or maybe some rocaro seats. it just isnt as nice seeing it with cloth then seeing it with leather.
to each his own!!

TRue True.. Why dont you take apart the old seats build yourself the pieces out of the Cloth you want, Sow Some padding on it and piece it together yourself. It may make for a good project that you can say, you did yourself. Good luck on your project and let us know how it turns out

There was one guy in Washington years ago who had a GS300 with cloth from the factory. Kind of a rare bird.

This guy did some great work for me on my AE86 interior:

This is an interesting thread, first time someone inquired about cloth seats! Can't imagine seeing a Lexus with cloth ??

Most Aristo seats are cloth. I dont know personally but you could find out if they'll swap. And if the seats dont, you can probably get the cloth skin off of them to fit if you can find someone to do that.

yeah if you went to clubaristo.net there is probably someone there who would swap you for their cloth interior. You should consider it, then both of you would only pay for shipping (which will still be a pretty penny)

How're your back seats? trade those straight up for the cloth rears in an aristo and get some aftermarket front seats, like Recaros or something. Price would probably be around the same as reupholstering everything.

Dude there has to be a JDM replacement Seat covers for the Aristo. You should hit up Clubaristo.net and ask around to see if anyone has found this to be an option. I will also check with the club.
