I forgot about the airbag change and not sure if that was 2002, 2003, etc., but the 100-series ran until 2007 model year then replaced by the 200-series in 2008 model year. I can't imagine 2006 being different from 2007.
Regarding the wrinkles, they aren't wrinkled at the seams, so pulling the material while sewing wouln;t match, but rather appear to have been embossed by a form into the leather if that makes sense. I'm not certain that can be achieved in the aftermarket, and even the ability to add the wrinkles is beyond what others offer, but they were an OEM feature and it's carried through on the 2nd and 3rd row seats as well as the door panel inserts. Maybe if you can isolate the wrinkles using your method to just the center panels and not the outer ones it would be pretty close. I'm not in the market for a full replacement as said earlier, I just need the seat bottom like most people.
Curious on your opinion as leather pros, why is the LC and LX leather seemingly poor in the durability department compared to other makers?

I think you are right 100-series will have the same seats going up to 2007
Yes those wrinkles would be hard to replicate but we can achieve something similar. We do that for 3000GT seats. Here is the picture
About the leather quality in OEM seats - well they are just trying to save some money and use cheap material

For those of you looking to order covers from Ridies......Light Tan (#11) would be a closer match to factory tan color.

I received mine today - medium gray. The color is close enough, but the "center console" is clearly for non US market model.
@Ridies there's a problem with the seat back cover - the bottom attaches by going under and around and over and clips onto the metal seat back. Your guys sewed on something that's designed to clip onto a sharp sheet metal edge. The factory is designed to clip around a 1" round. There's no way I can see that would address this issue short of welding something on the back of the seat.
Also - there are no armrests. But the website says:
Additionally, I'm not quite sure this thing is really compatible with the airbags. For one, it was clearly designed to wrap around a non-airbag seat, so the associated rods to attach the hog rings to are different. On top of that, I think the airbag needs to explode in a controlled manner and I'm not quite sure this setup will work with the curtain airbag?
Leather is nice, at least.

No, it's just a flap of leather that is too large for the smaller (USDM) lid.
Don't suppose you have any PIX?

The factory sent me pictures before they shipped (3/17) and it did include arm rests. They also asked the dimensions of my center console to be sure that they shipped the US version. Just reach out to them and they should take care of it.
I hope you like hog rings
