Distance to a place doesn't have to be a big barrier, if you don't have anyone in town to do it.

One time I wanted some work done on a different car and found a place in South Carolina. We are in Michigan. We were able to communicate with them so they had the parts ready and were ready to work on the car on a Friday. We drove down Thursday night and stayed in a local hotel. Dropped off the car early Friday am, toured the town a little for the day and drove home Friday with it all done. Nice little vacation.

i think I put all of the seat info in my thread, but here is the link to Yang’s website. Lseat and seatshop are the same person.

i could also take up to eight weeks to receive the order...Yang doesn’t communicate well but you will receive nice leather seats...it includes the center console, headrests, seat bottoms and seat backs. You will need hog rings and hog ring pliers. The job is not that difficult but will be time consuming. The seat airbags are not a problem.

I found some almost new looking seats on eBay for $250 each. Now I have replacements for all of the electronics, as well as OEM seat covers.

Yes I am from Marietta GA, but have not needed a leather chair replacement, I painted my fronts way back and it actually needs another round of paint.
However, I can ask a Lexus Tech friend if he can do the leather chair replacement and if yes, how much he will charge. If the leather supplier’s price is reasonable and an install price is OK, I may invest in a brand new set of leathers. That can be awesome for me too.

Look for a wrecked SC430 on your local Craigslist that is being parted out.

Someone mentioned there maybe airbags that would be interfered with by seat covers... is that true?

This is on Amazon, OEM quality and perfect fit. Any car upholsterer can fit these and it includes the centre console piece........

How much does mr Yang Hu charge for these leather seat covers?

as I posted above,
seatshop and lseat.com are the same person. He lives in Texas and I am pretty sure the leather comes from China.
