@bulldog77 I agree, good looking install. What do you think about the perforated?

I have leather seats that were non power in a 94. I replaced with L Seat but they sent the ones with power controls cut outs. I contacted them and they sent out another set of bottoms for the front but they still didn't fit well. Upholstery shop ended up having to modify what L Seat sent. Be aware if you have non power leather seat.

Is there an affordable source for new bottom cushions? My back cushions are ok, but bottoms are shot.

Looks like you went with the light grey, a little to bluish for me.

I think the Dim Grey is the right color for the 80. Others seem too light or "bluish" to me.

Thanks. It was my first attempt at installing any type of seat leather. A little frustrating and time consuming but well worth it.
These were the order details:
1 x 1990-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser J80 Custom Real Leather Seat Covers (Front)
(Leather Color: S0014 Bisque, Thread Color: L014 Bisque, Additional Option: Perforated Insert)
Thank you. I'm happy with the perforated so far. I only have about 2-3k miles on them so I can't say how they hold up. I mainly did it because I thought it would help with heat transfer since I anticipated installing the elements.
Agree. I think it will look great installed and look very close to the factory leather.
I'm getting the blue to match my rig with black stitching
No.
Too much like hundreds of cheap seat covers.
And I have 40th two tone seats... tan and whatever that old dog s*** color is on the sides. Would love to have those dark tan skins that were selling on here for ever now. So I say go with the grey with that nice stiching you mentioned. Classy and classic.
Done.
x2. Really in need of some for my 40th as well as seat cushions.

I would go on lseats website and request color samples sent to you. It was easy and took about 7 business days

Are you also changing put the leather in the door cards? If so, did you order additional leather for it and , most importantly, how dificult was it to do. I need new leather but having the old leather on the door panel right next to a new arm rest would look ghetto.

Source for new bottom seat foam is needed as well. Mine is shot.
@Aloha Jen did you ever get your Leather Installed ?
No sir. Still sitting in a big pile just waiting for me to install.
I ordered the L Seat covers in Dim Grey with the Grey stitching and perforated inserts. The color compliments the grey interior and the quality of the leather is decent, but be prepared for a little extra hassle on the install. Some of the holes are not pre-cut in the covers so you will need extra time to cut them out. An example is the head rest openings and I believe some of the seat control areas were not cut out properly if I remember correctly. On install one of the seat covers tore as I was stretching it over the seat back, the good news is that the tear is covered by the rear seat trim panel and hasn't gotten any worse. Over all its a good price compared to Metric's and for the difference in price taking the time to cut some holes is worth the savings. I have had them installed in my truck for 10 months now and there is no signs of wear. I also installed seat heaters at the same time, but I live North of the 49 and its a nice option to have.
As far as customer service goes L Seat took some time to ship them out and when I contacted them I did not receive a response. That being said Houston was flooding at the time and it made sense that there were some nominal delays and a lack of communication in a disaster situation like that. I believe I had them to my door in about 3 weeks after I ordered them. I need to still have the rear seats done and I will order them from L Seat when the time comes.
My .02 cents

Fronts and rears both start at $299 for 2 seats. Options go up from there.
