Looking for replacement leather options for my 96 LX450

[warezdog]

get the angled hog pliers, much easier to get into the tight spots, only replaced bottom on drivers side.

What's the cost through him?

With shipping, it came to $696.

I have a complete set of leather covers, door panels, arm rests, etc in my '94 that I bought from Shane about 7 years ago. Despite living in the AZ heat, they have held up pretty well. In fact, the leather still looks new except for a tear on the side of the driver's seat. I originally thought the tear was bad workmanship on Shane's part, but it was actually the result of a mistake on the installer's part.

I know several 'Mud members have not had the same experience dealing with Shane that I've had. But all three orders I've placed with him have been delivered within a reasonable amount of time and the product looks great. $.02

Does anyone have any pictures of these things installed??

If not I might be pulling the trigged with Metric tomorrow. I just can't stand my current driver's seat, it is driving me crazy.

My pictures are in this thread. 1997 LX450 with LARK from Lseat. I was the second one to post pictures of the installed product.
FWIW, and I have said this in another post within this thread, I am extremely happy with the product and all of the "trouble" areas that I pictured have smoothed out and tightened up. It looks and feels great.

Thanks Jon,

I just ordered the samples, so I guess we will see. I am ok missing out on the 15% off Metric sale that ends today if the Lseat covers are a good quality.

^^^ Good for you!

I'm still amazed at guys that, at this point in time, after REPEATED documented issues, even REMOTELY consider Shane as a viable vendor.

For ANYTHING!

i got my swatches from LSEAT as well, thinking about going with TAN instead of the bisque, but it wouldn't match my 2nd row at that point.... but... i like the color better than stock

 

[raynyc]

so those Lseat covers go on like seat covers? or they remove the old stuff and put these on?

remove the old stuff, they're replacement for the stock leather...

 

[raynyc]

Cool I just ordered samples

 

[gahi]

Is there a sample pack I'm not seeing? or are you guys ordering the per sq. ft. stuff?


nevermind, found it.

My 80 series front covers will be here Thursday.
I will not have time to install them for awhile (selling house).
Took approx 5 plus weeks from order date. Wasn't in a hurry and they did keep me updated so all good so far.

 

[lynchmob]

Finally getting these on. This is set #1 that they made from my originals.
I'm not quite done with the pass side. So far no complaints. The leather is nice and the fit is pretty good except the head rests. They are a little lumpy.
As you can see in the pics they added plastic inserts around the controls and I was able to install with them aligned. They left out the holes for the head rests which I think is a good idea.

You could definitely nit pick some of the stitching here and there but you are only close enough to do that during install. I think they will look great in the rig and definitely recommend them so far.

 

[wasnt me]

Thanks for sending yours in lynchmob.
Fed ex dropped mine off today and the quality looks great.

 

[wasnt me]

Everyone likes pictures right ?

 

[aae42]

what color is that? i like....

 

[wasnt me]

Brown with tan stitching.
