With the EKR, it's hard to tell in the video, but does it feel a bit more supportive than the factory? Not sure if anybody else experiences this, but I often feel like I'm sliding down/forward a bit in my 2011 LX if I'm wearing jeans. I'm waffling between these or biting the bullet on the Wet Okole's for the front which have additional lumbar support, but come in around $480 just for the fronts.

Haven’t gotten the EKR yet, but I installed these on my LC200 and they made a difference in the seat stance. I like it a lot. I need to fix the inner bolt when I take my seats out to install the EKR…they are solid.

Do you have the front thigh support all the way out. I feel this a little when that is not exteneded. But not really as long as it is. Maybe try lifting the front of the seat a little?

Yeah, I've adjusted the thigh support and the tilt plenty over the past 100k miles with various succes. I know there was another thread on here which addressed raising the front of the seat a bit and I'm still tempted by that. I'm sure part of it is just due to usage and miles at this point and I'm not getting any younger!

Let us know how these work out for you guys. Wouldn't mind additional front support either and would be a good time to install at the same time with EKR covers 🙂

They definitely make a difference. I had major lower back surgery 2 years ago and it helps me tremendously. For $35 it is a no brainer. There is a vendor here that sells them but they were a lot more so I tried these and they work great.
 
Well, no word from EKR since placing my order, but I got a DHL tracking number from DHL today. Nit 100% sure it’s the EKR stuff, but not sure what else it would be.

That would be a pretty quick turnaround if its for the seat covers. Fingers crossed and that the covers end up fitting pretty good, considering their price.

I don’t think they are actually in DHLs hands yet, based on the tracking. But I assume this means maybe they are ready To be picked up. Supposedly I’ll get them next Friday.
 
Received a chat message from Sunny today notifying me that the covers have been shipped via DHL.

That was quick. Going to need some pics and first thoughts on material quality! ;)

I have to travel for work first thing in the morning. So worst case I can put something together later in the week. But I can probably unbox tonight and get some pictures.
 
So got my package. They sent me all 3 rows even though I only asked for first 2. The color is lighter than “cashmere”, it might be a very good match for “parchment” which is lighter. Kind of wish I had gone with the darker color now. But I’m not going to worry about it. It’s well packaged, but directions are very generic and there are no labels on anything. I’m sure it will make sense. I think I’ve identified most of the parts.

In this picture you can see my original leather, the new covers, plus I have one Ashtray from a 3013-15 “parchment” and one from a 08-11 “cashmere” interior. You can see how close it is to the Parchment.

I don’t think the headrests are going to work out. Maybe I’m using the wrong one and need to try harder. The 2nd row one fits okay. The front row not so much. There is a 3rd size headrest that is taller, but seems thinner, so couldn’t even get it started. I’m not super worried about those since mine are in good shape. Of course they won’t match, so I’ll still try.

How is the feel/quality? The headrests are going to trigger my OCD if I can’t get them on. In the video he mentioned having to turn them with the piping on the ridge of the headrest and that made it better.

I’m not a leather aficionado, but it definitely seems very high quality. Multiple layers sewn in and the material looks pretty good. Didn’t see any seems that did t look like they weren’t going to be strait. Obviously I didn’t do a full inspection of everything .

All things considered especially the price, these look great! Of course the real test will be in their final fitment, but so far these look great and a third row is a nice bonus. Keep us posted. My covers should be here by Friday next week.

Side note: I personally like the lighter parchment.

Well.. I don’t mind the parchment.. but my interior is cashmere.. haha. Either way, I’m in agreement. If the seat covers look pretty good installed, I’m still calling it a win.

As a side note, the perforated leather is actually perforated. I could blow through it, where as the non perforated part was airtight. Not sure it won’t still be too much material for there to be any chance at the ventilated seats getting through.

I just spoke with Sunny and mentioned to her that you might be having issues with the headrest covers. If you do run into them being too small, she said you can reach out to her for replacement.
