Sure, we would love to see the installed pictures.
Leather makers always tell not to use any chemicals to clean the leather. They make your leather shiny in the beginning but eventually ruin the leather. Just use soap and damped towel. Never let water sit on the leather.
Any recommendations on soap? Thanks!!
Light Tan Napa From Ridies. So far, happy!

Wow, those look great!
Ridies - I see your product for Land Cruisers is tagged as JDM. Will this work with a JDM RHD model? Thanks
Glad I found this thread! Will be placing an order soon. Product looks great. My seats are in tact and passable with no tears or rips. I just don't like how stiff they have gotten. I'm hoping this solves that issue for me.

I wonder what the cost of a new seat might be? Or even a used one from a totaled vehicle? The cost of these replacement leathers is high and the work to install them seems time consuming with a finished product only half the people seem to like. So I was thinking - why not just get a new (or used) seat?
This is an interesting idea. Looking partsouq's parts catalog I didn't find a part number for a complete assembly. I wonder if an aftermarket seat would be a better option in that case? Something like Scheel-mann would be ideal!
Mind giving a ballpark on what the cost was to install these?

Varies based on your location. I paid $500 for front 2 rows in NW Arkansas.
Why? Because that was and still is the most unattractive colour for any car interior!!!! I cannot understand why it seems the only option on most cars today, and I can’t wait until the obsession with that colour finally goes away!!!!!!!!
It was $600 to install the front covers and armrests. Still happy with the results and after a year of daily driving they still look new. Bonus: The leather smelled good to me (like a new car) after install and that new car leather smell remains after a year.

It ages the best. Once tan or grey stains you’re SOL. Black doesn’t really stain. Same goes for learher, carpet, rubber and vinyl components. There’s a reason it’s so popular.
but, man it's got to get hot
