I have a 2007 IS 250 with tan leather interior. The seats are ventilated and heated/cooled. Both the driver and passenger seats have a few tears in them.

Does anyone know where I can buy Toyota or Lexus perforated leather to have it installed?

My current installer wants to charge me $200 for a piece of material that may or not match that is 14 inches by 24 inches.

Thanks!

 

You can buy the actual Lexus leather at Lexus. It will be more expensive.

As for finding aftermarket leather that matches, that's probably going to be harder to do, but you'll likely need to check out local upholstery shops to find something that you think matches well.

FYI - Seats are ventilated, not cooled. In order to have cool air (verses just the cabin air) flow through the seats, you need to place something under the seats to redirect the air from the vents and you need to direct air to the floor. Here's a link to the DIY:

i always worry about ripping the leather. How you manage that?

 

I must say that is not a bad price you are being charged, esp for such a large piece..I have heard of worse.
