TORN ISF seat :(
Everyone please learn from my mistake 
Give a co-worker a ride during lunch time, whatever in his jean pocket had torn my leather seat....so, make sure your passanger don't have anything crazy in their back pocket...
Here is the damage:
By the way does anyone if that is any possible to replace that piece of leather? Since our Seat have abit of blue color in the leather. Otherwise I might have to contact Sewell Lexus.
Thanks for any input.
UPDATED AUG 16 , 2012
Went to Local Lexus dealership, they CAN'T just sell me just the leather for the seat. They will have to sell the whole Lower part of the seat...part# is 7100153J10C0. They quoted me $99x; and Sewell online price was $7xx. Either way..it's just too expensive
and my seat was in almost prefect condition...
I also went to few local Auto upholstery shops...they can replace that section with a new piece of leather...but here is the BIGGEST issue:
Not only the venting holes in our seat are blues....according one of the owner (who run his business for 35+ years), the leather in our car actually is not Black leather, it's very dark 'Navy Blue' color... therefore that's no way it will be a match UNLESS:
1. To order the same kind of leather material from wherever Lexus get this from.
2. Contact a Junk Yard if they have an totaled ISF and cut a leather that big enough for the section.
Honestly everyone...I am stressed and exhausted..... If anyone know that's a way I can buy a piece of perforated leather for my seat...please help me out... Thanks
P.S. I am sorry if my English is not that good lol
UPDATE: 18 AUGUST 2012
The Cheapst OEM replacement I found so far is 600 Shipped...beside the leather..it also come with all sort of compoment I don't need
Called 2 Leather factory, they are being very helpful and will let me know what they have on Monday.
Called Lexus Headquarter for assistance and hope they will let me know what company actually manufactured the material, they will return my call within 2 business day.
Will call a few junkyard on Monday to try my luck.
IF EVERYTHING FAIL: I am planning to have the upholstery shop customzie both of the front seats in dark blue leather to match our "F" Blue color. Something lke this:
.
They quoted me about $450-500 with material and labor
Let me know what you guys/girls think

Nope....I am getting pissed off now...becuase he claim that he didn't do it, that's no way his jean pocket could had done that, bla bla bla. So he shouldn't need to chip in.
I am not even wasting my energy to battle with him, all i want now is hope to find a place to replace the damage leather and hopefully it will match the seat...
Wish my luck, all my F brothers and sisters.

That's pretty unfortunate. Try searching car-parts.com to see if any junkyard in the country has a good seat. Even if they only have a back seat avalible from a junk yard you might be able to get a big enough cut of the blue leather from it to replace that section with. It think that would still be cheaper then a new seat.
I have a nice little temporary seat cover that I use on mine. I will take a pic of it and post it later, I highly suggest it.
