Default Seat covers

Does anyone know where i can buy seat cover made for the IS. I assume its difficult to find mainly because of the side airbags and heat/ventilated seats.

Does lexus make them? I do not want a "fits a vehicles" type.

I have Ecru Interior color and it gets dirty quick. I recently had a tire changed (not by lexus) and they get there dirty hand prints everywhere. I am not asking for a cheap seat cover, but rather something more tasteful.

I have custom seats and I have the drivers seat covered. I would like something more form fitting than what I'm using LOL

I would have brought that car back and demanded a thorough cleaning. And if they could not get that grease off of that pristine leather skin then I would let them know that I would use THEIR skin in lieu of the ecru.

Hehe yeah, unfortunately i am not good with confrontation. I would also like a form fitting seat cover that is washable.

Also, if the leather tears under warranty, is it covered?

just buy some leather masters or leatherique. keeps your leather supple and clean. don't wear any pants with metal buttons on the butt.





go buy some ed hardy covers with all the accessories. it'll go well when you GTL.

Exclamation Seat Covers

evogt500 brings up a good idea.

I've been looking for fitted seat covers for my IS as well. Taking
along a 25lb dog in the car doesn't do anything good for the seats.
I'm looking for fitted covers in the front and a flat cover for the
base seat in the rear. A cover for occasional use over the console
might be good too.

Anyone have any experience with CalTrend or any of the other suppliers?
I know Lexus doesn't offer them.

These are serious requests.

Thanks
Rolloutman

I think Lexus sells a cover for the back seat designed for doggies.
