Default cloth seats

What do you think about them? ive been thinking about converting my car to cloth seats (if i can find them), id like to see some pics of some cloth seats as i know it was rare in the US but pretty much standard everywhere else.

I would trade in a heartbeat however my leather isnt in the greatest shape, but.... if you would be interested in a trade plus a little cash toward a recover we could work something out??? im glad you posted though i think i really like the look of the tan seats in cloth, now if only i could get my hands on some, im thining about asking some aussie's if they have some??? im sure some of them have recovered with leather, all i need are the covers really, maybe someone on here has recovered with leather and kept the cloth???

I don't think it is very Lexus like.

Granted ANY leather seat sucks if you don't keep the leather maintained, cloth is just too toyota for me. Personally I wish they'd used pleather seats. They last forever and never wear. The one's in my BMW look like they just came off the assembly line and they are 15 yrs old.

Yea, I have the rubber/plastic shifter **** (aka the *****-matic), e-brake and wheel.

I also do have heated cloth seats, they are great .

it's PLEATHER dude, it doesn't wear. ........ever.

We don't need a leather seat repair, we need a PLEATHER seat repair. It's twice as soft as real leather and lasts forever with no wear. Did I mention it's less than 50% of the cost?

This seat is 15 years old and has 200,000 miles of *** on it.

Co-sign. If I can get goat skin, I would. Cloth is OK, but we have a Lexus like OLT said.
