Leather seat replacement covers LX570 (1 Viewer)

[NKP Garage]

What's everyone using for replacement leather for the LX570? I have a 2009, I see that Lseats.com has covers listed. Any others? Also, anyone use the Lseats covers on their LX570?

UPDATE:
I went with Lseats.com for the replacement leather. I chose the "LARK" color which is slightly darker than the factory light tan interior. I am hoping that the contrast will look good against the rest of the interior. I will post a step by step series of videos once the leather sets arrive showing how to remove, prep, and reupholster each set of seats. Stay tuned.


VIDEO LOG.......

PART1:
Some folks were asking about how the color swatches compare against the factory interior. I thought the easiest way to show that was with a video.
Here's the video that shows all the color swatches from lseats.com against our 2009 LX570. Hope it's helpful for you all!





PART2:
Unboxing and first impressions.





PART3:
Third row seat removal step by step video. I took my time to make sure I didn't snap any clips or pinch any wires and it took me maybe 30-40min. But after watching this video I think you can have them out in 10 minutes or less.

Part5 - How to restore the thickness, plumpness, and springiness back into your seat foam without having to buy new foam. I think this is a step that most people miss. And those that try to do it with small garment steamers may not be getting the full effects of having a high pressure steamer. Highly recommend you watch and don't miss this important step if you're redoing seats on any type of vehicle. Most foam I have come across is restorable, although some that are in very bad shape need to be replaced or added to. If you want to see the fast forward results in real time start watching around the 3:30 mark till the end.

Here is the high pressure steamer I am using: https://amzn.to/33Yglk1

This looks new as I checked lseats recently. Last year, my dad borrowed my truck and had a screwdriver in his pocket. It made a hole right in the middle of the driver's seat. I was looking for a replacement rather than taking it to an upholstery for repair (wait times were crazy but would've been done by now ).

Lseats have pretty good reviews in the 80s section.

I used Lseats on my old 100 series with good results too. Might go that route if nothing else comes up.

Similar to @dubyahard , I too was surprised since a few months ago I unsuccessfully spent an embarrassing amount of time scouring the interwebs for a gray perforated seat bottom cover for my rig…

I got the samples in from LSeats. I went for what I think is a slightly darker color than the factory cashmere color. The color ordered is Lark, with a perforated insert. I ordered all three rows of seats so they all march and will all be brand new. Fingers crossed, hoping they look good when they arrive in a few weeks.

was there a color that matched cashmere? My 2009 calls the light tan / beige 'Parchment' . . .
<edit - it looks like Lark or Ivory are the options. How did Ivory look?>

Not sure if the factory light tan-ish interior is called parchment or cashmere. I think its the same across all 200 series right?

Let me do this instead. I'll take a video with good lighting today with the color samples against the stock interior so that you guys can make your own decision without having to order samples. Stay tuned.

I think the color definitely changed over the years. Not sure if the names changed, but possibly. I know mine was called "cashmere" but when I'm ordering parts, I have to order the "ivory" version of everything. I guess that could be the difference between ordering leather and plastic parts though. A quick non-thorough googling looks like it was called cashmere for 08-11 and parchment for all years after that. I ordered an ashtray for the rear door right after I bought mine and had to order the b1 vs b0 color option and it definitely didn't match, but once again, plastic vs leather.

Man, my leather doesn't look "awful"....but you's looks practically new compared to mine. Why are you recovering? Also, i might be willing to take (by take i mean purchase at a fair price) your covers if you won't be using them anymore.

I'm just a weird nit-picky guy. I go a little overboard sometimes. Maybe a lot of times Keep in touch, once I get all the covers pulled off we can work something out.

I kept telling my wife I need a newer LX, a 2016+. Then we went and drove a 2019 and 2018 at the local dealership, both beautiful and well equipped. To my surprise they were both more sluggish than my 2009 LX. Couldn't bring myself to pay the difference for a newer truck that looked nicer, but didn't feel as good to drive. So instead we bought my wife a new BMW X7, and I decided to just freshen up old "Lexy" and keep her for now. She's at around 194k miles, but I do maintenance religiously and take care of her.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Our LC is a year old, 25K miles, always garaged and the seats are cleaned and conditioned regularly. I weigh 190 lbs and the misses is 115 lbs dripping wet so we aren't exactly crushing the seats lol. The truck isn't lifted either so we aren't sliding out of them either. I don't know why I held out hope for better wear on these but they look as sad as those in our LX did after two years. I know the wear isn't exactly awful but the bolstered areas don't hold up. One day they will likely be replaced with Scheelman's but I do wish they held up better.

It seems like the 2016 and up LX/LC's have a lower quality of leather on the interior. I noticed the same when looking at newer LX's to replace our 2009. The side bolsters all seemed very worn for such low miles.

Not trying to sabotage @lx200inAR or anything but please reconsider recovering them all with LSeat. I used them for my 470 and was impressed for the price. That was a 320k mile beater that'd been rode hard and put away wet though. The quality of leather is abysmal compared to the semi aniline that's in your LX. I kept the 470 for ~3kish miles after recovering the seats and already saw wear on the bottom bolster.
Give your current leather a round or two of leatherique conditioner to get it nice and supple and ride it out.
