Yea I think lexus interiors should just stay stock. I'll probably switch mine out with "saddle" from leatherseats.com though.

Its all on taste, The designers interiors looks nice, but not my first options. I like to keep it nice and stock with a little nice work done to it, since it is a Lexus, but again its to ones opinion. I always thought, why put those designer fabric on there, when those designer's don't even make parts for cars To me, it makes it seems like the word "fake" to me...

I second that!

Are people seriously still doing the "designer" fabric??
Doesn't even look good on a handbag, if you 'aks' me.

Maybe a set of spinners with that sir?

so many haters in this post putting down gucci, LV, etc. interiors. those are the ones that can't afford it and wish they owned that car. kinda like fat women hating on models - shoot, they wish they could fit their fat a$$es into those dresses. Same thing here. when you got something nice everybody wants to take a stab at you. Props to everyone with uniqueness. Its hard to be like everyone else when you were born to stand out.

Not exactly... I personally think the designer interiors are wack. I have the money to do it, but there is no way in hell that nonsense ends up in my car - even if YOU were paying for it. A nice designer handbag for your wife or girl is ok, even some of those can get a little bit over the top & gaudy... but to do a whole cars' guts with some knockoff designer fabric is just silly in my opinion. Once again this is just my opinion.

Yeah, that's it: I can't afford it.

Some of us just prefer a more... tasteful look.

"Designer fabric" seems to be an East Coast, Dirty South, or DUB thing. We just don't see that type of stuff much in cars here in CA, and with good reason.

BTW, my GS has custom suede seat inserts and a $12K paint job (among other things), so if I don't have a Gucci interior it's not because I can't afford it.

The only thing i buy coach and LV are my wife's handbags. I wouldnt be caught dead driving a car with this interior And like someone else said you can not buy the real fabric so why do it at all. you would be driving around in a big knock off. and forget about trying to sell the car. jmo
