Ah, so you are the guy that got the 1 GS a year that is imported into the US without leather seating.
I saw a GS300 one day at my dealer with cloth seats. That thing sat on the lot forever. I could not imagine buying a new $40K car with cloth seats. Good luck with your change to leather.

you see the thing is i bought the car used and i figured that even if it came with leather i would soon replace it with something more to my liking. so i got a good deal on the car and invested about 700.00 bucks to get a custom two tone leather interior. so i bought my car used with only 45,000 miles on it with a clean record for about 25 grand plus the money i'm putting into it. sounded like a good deal to me. what do you guys think? by the way my car is a 98 gs300. thanks to all that replied.

btw no i don't have an aristo, i wish i did though. i'm more than happy with what i have now but the 2jz-gtte is calling. imo this car is perfect for a 19y/o whose previous car was a 95 vw jetta pos.

No problem man, the work you did on these seats was great! Nothing better than a lil 2 tone!
Now, it looks bomb!! I went to your gallery to check them out, and i was stunned. The seats look awesome! Great color combo!
