I would wait until passenger front seat wear out and get perforated two tone. OEM is soft but leather is too thin, my driver seat bottom has lot of creases and one crack, despite my effort of condition it three time in the last two years.

I think the two routes are (1) New, from an on-line dealer (quite expensive) and (2) Used, from an on-line auto recycler (i.e., Lexus junk yard) (fairly inexpensive).

I replaced the rear bottom seat on a neighbor's Toyota Avalon last winter. The cost of the tan leather rear seat (top and bottom) was $75 from an on-line junk yard. I saved shipping by only having the bottom shipped and the shipping was about $30. Local junk yards wanted much more.

I have to condition the driver seat monthly, quarterly for other seats. Also use a towel to cover up the driver seat at work. I still have lots of creases, though the leather is still soft and supple so no cracks.

I condition the seats once or twice a year with Lexol and everything has been fine (5 years this month). The car is parked inside 9 months of the year. I would do Lexol tratments more often if the car was parked in the sun all year. I don't think most RX owners even take as much care as I do and the leather some how survives.
