Seat covers might be a bad idea with the airbags. The seats are leather, you should just leave it as is.

Why would you cover what is probably the nicest standard leather in the class?

Deal with what? I have the light gray and don't have any issues. Is it going to turn to crap over time?

I actually have the tan interior and it creases too fast and too easily. And my jeans always dyes the seats so after a while my seats start to turn blue.

I hope it doesent turn to crap... mines is 09 so I don't know yet... deal with the jean fadeing
And the dirty look when they are dirty... don't have to worry about that with the black. Ill have to try one of those leather cleaners when they get dirty... right now I jus use a warm micro fiber towel to wipe mines off and its all good. I don't know if its because I got the ultra cote or not but that's what I do.

I was at Lexus of sacramento and they sell seat covers, the ones that dont cover the airbags. I dont think seat covers look good on leather seats, but if you must, give them a call. www.rainsco.net are the folks who make them.

I have the cashmere interior on my car. It's a little over 5 years old and I don't have any issues with discoloration of the leather.

I definitely wouldn't go with seat covers. Just maintain them with a good leather cleaner and conditioner.

Seat covers are so fobby.

The rational behind seat covers keeping the seat fresh and new till the day your car dies or is sold whilst never enjoying it yourself is so
