Curious if you guys are changing the seat foam at the same time. Separate post on this but overall mine seem fine but I do have some leaning towards the console on the driver seatback. Thx
IF you have the 'Ivory' interior (my LX is a 99 model) then the samples they sent me had 'Light Tan' (in the NAPA finish) as the closest match.
You might be able to steam them and bring it back to life.
I replaced my lowers and kept my uppers. The uppers are usually not as compressed. The foam is expensive though. In my case the seat heaters were kind of deteriorating into the foam as well.
You can also just consider some upholstery foam and add a new layer to your old foam.

Has anyone used Interior Innovations? They have the standard options but some of the pictures match the ones @Ridies uses. If it's the same product the two benefits of going with Interior Innovations are the set comes in slightly cheaper and they offer a 3 year warranty.

Saw a few reviews. Some from 2014 up to 2022.
Didn't see any bad ones. Mostly Z cars and vettes.
Made in Pakistan like Ridies.
Both of them have the same phone number.

Good catch. Must be the same company then. Guess we can’t expect too much from the warranty coverage.
Obviously 2 different companies
. Wonder if Interior Innovations has the J-channel issue addressed.Perhaps same owner, management or support team, or all of the above.
My order is coming.. Ordering was good, they called back to discuss details, etc. In my case I don't care about J-channel (I can reattach original). I just want to make sure it's more or less quality as I don't want to spend time sewing myself. Got extra hyde of a same color just in case.

Did you order from Ridies or someone else?
lseat is garbage. mine lasted 2 years and fell apart.
Ridies
Just as @aharlan001 and @flintknapper reported the hook is incorrect size and doesn't work with our LX seats. I even spoke with the @Ridies representative over the phone before ordering and they assured me that this is no longer an issue, I still found it be unusable. @Ridies you should really try to address this. PM me is you want my old OEM skins that I took off to fix this issue - I can send them to you for the cost of shipping.
Here are the hooks factory vs the faulty Ridies
Fun before and after with Ridies, Arm isn's great. Next time I would just have upholstery shop cut leather, but still very comfortable and look a little better than what I had

You'll find it will tighten up an look better with a little time.
Received order from @Ridies today.
Pretty much as expected. Quality is OK. I did better, but I didn't expect what I did.
From what I noticed (I got 2 rows)
1. Missing center console cover (I did order it)
2. Rear pockets not sewn correctly. I kind of expected it, got extra hyde for that specific reason ($100)
3. Extra hide is more like 1/3 hide (compare to what I used to buy) or maybe it's some miniature cow hide, I don't know.
Color is little different from sample, but totally OK with me.
Will see how it all fits and how much re-doing I will need to do.

Slightly off-topic as this threads seems to mostly be about Ridies now - but is Land Cruiser Heaven still the place to go to if you want high quality replacement leather?
