Great post and encouragement to DIY. I wish I would have now. The ruffles are optional and you have the choice of LC or LX patterns with ridies. I think you can get different color stitching, inserts and even upgraded leather to the fancy stuff (forgot the name). Your pic is definitely a LC seat. The bottom pattern is different than a LX. Here is mine from @Ridies.Hi Everyone.
When I purchased my 100 a few years ago there was not many options to choose from and any leather option was about a grand or more before install, which is also very important. Im an avid diyer and eventually found a front two rows of oak leather on eBay for 499. When it came, it was roadwire. the leather is very soft.
I installed the leather myself and although the cuts are not exact, perhaps it was for lx? (unlabeled) vs me having an lc, it turned out amazing. Im not actually sure of this material in the end a year and a half later in that it still looks amazing but I've never been sure whether its leather. BUT and a big but, there are so many types of leathers with and without coatings that it can be very hard to tell. That means they are nice quality.
Personally this most recent option presented looks like the best so far and like many, I have researched for years. These have the ruffles.
What would be AMAZING for real is if, that instead of the stock look, we do a group buy on a custom pattern, like quilted with contrast stitching. The labor of first time diy is very time consuming and laborious, not hard and very satisfying. I just purchased another truck and will want to do the leather, id love custom group buy because honestly, its not stock anyway, for that argument or crowd.
only pic I have for some reason and don't have access for more pics at the moment, kinda gave away with the ex, hence the new ride I can get pics, just not right now. This is before putting in headrests or shrinking and final beatings..if you know what I mean. I went all out with full steams of all foam, replacing and building with foam (learned positives and negatives of that). this was the first leather seat I've ever done and probably took eight hours with the headrest and armrest. Each other seat took about four hours or so at a mellow pace. Measure twice!!

Looks awesome. Is that their ivory color?I bought @Ridies leather and it is a slight shade lighter than the rear. Very happy. Real leather all the way around. Comes with armrests and center console too. $500 shipped.

The LX has rounded corners and comes standard with wrinkles. 1st two are LX, last is LC.I’m having some trouble identifying the difference between the LX and the LC versions of seats. Can anyone point me to a reference?
Pretty sure they call it tan. Factory calls it ivory.Looks awesome. Is that their ivory color?

Checking their swatches here—tan looks too dark. They do have an ivory that looks like it could be it though. I'll reach out to the vendor and see if they know...Pretty sure they call it tan. Factory calls it ivory.
Ivory. Was definitely light tan that I got. I got the swatches to be sure to get a match. Light tan is really close.Checking their swatches here—tan looks too dark. They do have an ivory that looks like it could be it though. I'll reach out to the vendor and see if they know...
