Default Red interior

I have a sc430 2002. At the time I bought the car there was no red upholstery available, which I wanted. i figured that someday I may change the saddle, which I have to red. Can you buy the red upholstery as a kit ie. precut?

It would be hard to find and expensive but you could . I have a 2005 PB model red leather interior. I have been buying up spare interior parts for 4 years now. I have a pair of red door trim panels with the wood. I have a full red console . I have a trim dash lower panel for right and left side under dash. I have a pair of both rear side panels I have a pair of red rear head rests. I have been buying these when ever I see them at very good prices . Its a slow process but I figure its a good investment.

I SWEAR that I've seen Pebble Beach red seat covers on one of the hundreds of sites I was looking for the red or black floor mats for!!! Tonight I started with sewell, but I don't see it on there. Furthermore I spent a long time discussing Pebble Beach and Neiman Marcus parts with this guy today who is a regional manager for parts at Lexus (he was visiting the dealer I was at) and he said there are virtually NO parts left for the Pebble Beach or NM cars that are specific to the unique options and that they could not order them (floor mats).

I too and going to follow Buddy's lead and collect the parts too.

In the meantime, go to Lexus Vendor Marketplace, we have several leather experts there that might be able to do an aftermarket nice job for you. I have experience in this---I replaced my entire interior on my 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo with anxiety thinking that the leather would look like PLEATHER and it did not. The place in Dallas charged about $1500 for the two seats and the side panels on the door and around the dash with top-grain (not full) black leather with red stitching. Took about two weeks though! This was back in 2001. I'm sure prices have gone up.

****Here are a couple of places that specialize in Lexus cars. I would suggest finding a good place to by the quality leather that is close to OEM specs and finding the BEST place locally to do your install.**** These places have red lexus leather:

Best thing to do, which will be rare, is to find a junkyard 2005 or 2007 Pebble Beach SC430. Both had red interiors (2005 with black exterior, 2007 with white exterior)...

FOUND 'EM! Sewell Parts Online. You have to look under the 2002 for the NM seats. Same pimento red as our 2005 and 2007.

http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par...l.asp?id=44554

Probably $900+ ea after our CL discount---but for just one fourth of what you need! You need the bottom, the top, the headrest and the rear seat. Plus if you really want to be red, what about the seat backs and the interior? Wow....very rare part still available. I would jump on this big time Igorxx if you want red seats!!!! This interior could cost $5k from Lexus.

I bet you could do just the leather only...seats and doors at a nice custom leather shop for $2-$3k. But...if you have the cash, THIS WOULD BE SWEET!

Wow, for that kind of money I'd wait and find me an 05 PB downstream, well on second thought it's only money
