Thanks!
The mats are good but they do get dirty pretty fast because of the light color. The stitching is hard to clean. They now sell the same mats but with an extra dark colored mat for the bottom.

Finally got the back seat done! Glad this project is over! I didn't know I was going to take the whole seat apart. The fitment is great. I think the covers look better than oem ecru cause of the texture. If anyone is going to do the same project don't hesitate to go with these covers.

Superb work man, well done! The seats look super comfy, like seats out of an old Buick or similar. I'm jealous, and I don't even need new seat covers..

Thank you for the nice compliment. My kids rode in the car last night with the new covers on and they loved it! I would like to see someone do this with black interior. From the website, black really looks top notch.

Hi all -- I know this thread is old but I've had it bookmarked since pre-covid while I was searching for replacement seat covers. I keep coming back to this thread because of Atomsplitr's photos. Those are the only ones I've seen showing quality materials. (Workmanship, too -- nice install job!)

My passenger seat now looks like it's been slashed by a knife-wielding mugger. It started with a single tear and then seemed to multiply of its own accord.

Atomsplitr, I was a little confused by your post because you mention both Clazzio and upgarage. Neither site seems to show anything for the Celsior. Can you post a link to exactly what you were looking at when you ordered? I'm petrified of ordering the wrong thing and then being saddled with trying to return it.

I personally found them on japanese Amazon, USA Clazzio had never gotten back to me with a quote for it.

I just recieved my seat covers from lseat.com for my ls430 ultra. I'm wondering now if these will work ok with ventilated seats? I got perforated seats, but the foam on the back doesn't have holes in it, does it need to? Will air be able to pass thru it?

Ironically enough I am in the same boat, just received my front and back Lseat leather replacements and am scheduled to drop my 05 off this coming Monday at the upholstery shop to install them. I too opted for the perforated, but also can see what you're talking about regarding the foam/felt backing may "block" the air. I would think it would still go through and you would at least feel some air. Personally, I'm not concerned, just excited to have brand new leather in a 17 year old car !
