Need some seat advice please
Hey Guys,
I have a 2007 GX with the original seats. I want to get new seat skins for both the driver and passenger side front seats. (the middle and third seats are fine).
I don't need the entire seat, only the skins. Has anyone ordered new seat skins(covers) from any of the Lexus parts houses and taken them to an auto
upholstery shop for installation? The covers are expensive, but want to match the rest of the ivory interior. What have others done, as I am sure this is not
a new issue on an 18 year old vehicle.
Thanks!

I have not. I have some worn spots but they're still usable.
You're probably going have to go aftermarket for the seat covers.
Amayama has some of them (mostly Ivory, some Medium Gray) but each piece is $800+ ($1600 per seat)
The foam seat pads are also hit/miss, at $125+.

There were changes made over the years so be sure to get the ones for your model year. And of course driver/passenger are different.
Something you may try if you only have a few worn areas is to sacrifice your third row seats. See if your auto upholstery shop can cut + stitch them into your existing front covers.
