Replacement Seat Covers for LX470 / Land Cruiser

[nukegoat]

Received my arm rests and middle row back panel leather but a little too late. Sold my truck as I upgraded to a 200 series.
Hope you got yours.

I got mine and installed. The arm rests using Velcro is a little ghetto compared to the plastic clips as far as keeping the seam minimal, but they fit nice otherwise. Thanks @Ridies. Definitely worth the price paid. And thank you for making everything right!

You are welcome. Can you please post some installed pictures here?

Did you take pictures of your seats before you sold it? lol

 

[1gr8FoSemty]

Well. If you know how to do those than I think it will be full 8hr day AT LEAST to do installation. To properly install you need to stretch and steam those. May need heater fixing. Lot of things to do wrong.

And this is all hard physical labor.

$450 sounds OK. At $150 it sounds too good to be true or person doesn’t know what they do

It's a friend of a friend. He owns an upholstery shop. I think his normal rate is $150/seat.

$150 is a good price. We hear that sometimes, but mostly it is around $400-$800 for both seats

Excellent. Can't wait to get those pics here

Here are another set of covers that we did for a customer. Light grey in Full-grain nappa.

If you have covers from Ridies then we would love to see some installed pictures for you guys too.

@1gr8FoSemty did you get them installed? How did it go?

 

[1gr8FoSemty]

I am still waiting. He had a large casino job to finish. I am completely detailing my interior and putting sound deadener, complete audio system in at the same time. Lots of work. I hope to be complete by middle of next week. I'll definitely post pics.

Oh that sounds pretty good. You will have the coolest car in the neighborhood

Here are some pics of the finished product. The installer spent quite a bit of time refreshing the foam. The leather is tight, smells good and feels phenomenal. I cannot say enough about the quality of the product. The only thing I do not like is the exposed zippers on the armrests. Why not do a flap so you cannot see this?

I hope to install them in the next couple of weeks. Staining my carpet, putting down sound deadener, nav-delete, upgrading audio system and detailing all panels as we speak.

It does look like good quality leather. I like the color, looks a good match for what is in my LX470.

Goes well with those Brown Oxfords too. Allen Edmonds?

It just keeps getting better.

Lol! Naw, Apt9 from Kohl's...but they do go well together. If I could have reclined one, I would have slept in it last night. I don't know if it is the new leather, the padding @Ridies uses , or the reconditioned cushions, but these things are soft. They are an excellent match in color. I'd say the quality is better than factory...except for the armrest zippers. Hopefully, @Ridies will fix this and send me some new ones with a flap to cover zipper.
I am very pleased. I paid $200 cash for the install. He told me he should have charged $400 after the fact, because of difficulty, but is a man of his word.

This is going to be one of the top companies on leather products. I am well pleased. My upholstery guy said that every piece is 100% quality leather.

@Ridies I thought the 98-99 were the same interior as 2000? If not, are you planning to do those years as well? I would be interested in a set for a 99.
