Default Sheepskin Update

It's been about 2 months since I installed my ROCKYMOUNTAIN SHEEPSKIN. It's GREAT! Thanks to USERMEL for encouraging me to get it. I doubt I'll ever own a vehicle again without installing one.

(This was just an update for fellow Lexus enthusiasts. I have NO relationship whatsoever with RM Sheepskin other than being a satisfied customer)

No pics but I'll try this week. I have the highest priced one....don't remember if that is deluxe or tailored. It was about $200 for the driver's seat only.

Smile Sheepskin update

Thanks for the props D40. Sheepskin seatcovers are so under the radar to people who prefer leather like I once did and still do, they don't look at sheepskin as an upgrade. Me and Daryl40 can tell everyone how it feels on cold or warm days on these seats. There is no better upgrade to me than the sheepskin seats because they add charecter to an already great ride ( any lexus from ES330 to LS430) and the temperature of the seats is never a factor. I no longer us my seat heaters, and since 1999 I have purchased seatcovers all tailormade like Daryl40's. When you decide to get rid of your car the other bonus is no seat damage and dealers can't deduct from bad leather seats. I understand why some chose to add wheels (aftermarket) paint jobs etc. I just ask that like us risk takers and obvious business man who try new things all the time like me and Daryl40 that you try out these covers for your seats. You will be impressed by the color matches to your car and how much it adds to the interior look. It gives the car a custom look without altering the car interior, and they can be put in another car of the same make and model. Take a chance and join the sheepskin seatcover club. This is not as popular as traditional things done to cars but everyone who has seen my covers that hasn't before has said, WOW is this chinchilla? check Rockymountainsheepskin.com Love GOD not money! P.S I also have no relationship with Rockymountain sheepskin but like there product like Daryl40! Don't want to force them on anyone! GODBLESS

Smile pics please

Sorry i dont have pics. I don't know how to do that on the computer. If you go to www.rmsheepskin.com you should be able to see examples. Also RMS sends different color samples of real australian sheepskin for you to compare color matches. Maybe Daryl40 can help you with the pictures. Love GOD not money.

I wonder about cleaning, too. Truthfully, installing it took about an hour so I am NOT looking forward to removal for cleaning. I hope it will last 3-4 years without the need to be cleaned...which is about when I'll be ready for a new car (or sooner).

Smile cleaning seatcovers

I agreeDaryl40, cleaning is not an option for me either. I am going to buy new ones in 5 years anyway. Also i mainly want to protect the leather and have my car comfortable. The comfort the 1 inch thick sheepskin provides is great. Love GOD not money!
