Yours certainly look 'tight' Lawrence, are the supra seats made of the same material as your standard Soarer ones?

To get the armrests on do you need to remove the entire door trim then screw the armrest off or can the arm rest be removed separately?




Jarred, the underlying material of the back seats is plain soarer stripey grey, the supra fronts are dark blue/grey with coloured flecks. THAT's why I bought a mixed set of Supra fronts and Soarer rears in grey pleather from Ultimate Auto trim on e-bay - the same way you all did, so they'd look the same.

The arm rests are screwed into the door pocket from the reverse side. So theoretically you might be able to get them out without removing the door panel. It's really not hard to remove the whole door panel though, and a lot easier in the long run. There is a tut on this site. While you're at it, you'd probably want to have a look at the condition of your trims and re-inforce them before they split, tighten screws and lube your window runs, locks, cables etc.

Carl,

Its not too late. Make payment into the suppliers bank account (details are on 1st page of thread). Use your name as payment reference.

Email me your order including your postal address. And remember to tell me whether your rear headrests are fixed or seperate.

Thanks,
Chris

Has anyone used these covers over OEM Leather so far?

I'm very interested to hear opinions from all & sundry regarding fitment over leather.

Yeh but for $650, including all the other extra's, this package gives the opportunity to people who cant afford to get their whole interiors professionally re-done.

I personally wouldn't ever spend thousands getting the whole thing re-done. These interiors are much cheaper, and transform the look of the whole interior. Well worth it in my opinion. And so far, everyone that has got into my car has thought the seats were re-trimmed in real leather.

Oh well, if you've got the money to spend...go for it. lol

Christian, did the money show up in your account yet mate? Have you sent out the bulbs yet?

And that's not true Christian. My TT interior was retrimmed over a year ago, and they still look brand spanking new. It's also definitely a lot softer then the material of these seats. I guess we'll just have to wait and see in the long run.

Only reason I purchased a set was because my V8 seats are becoming VERY worn out and these are a great alternative to sprucing up the interior :-)

Cool Christian, so it's $650 for everything and I have to decide on the theme that I want to go with.

Has anyone tried to put this logo onto the center of the steering wheel?

Upload

What are the measurements of the logo? i.e top to bottom & width?

I suspect there could be drama's with the airbag deploying when/if needed.Though I cut (from the back)not penetrating all the way through might be enough to let the bag out....they go off with a hell of a force.



It would look great.....for those of us who have "Lexus'd" our cars.

Hey Chris,

You would be the 20th person to pay, so yes, the price would be $650 for the package.

You just have to decide the style you want to go with.

Not sure about the logo on the steering wheel. I think I would just prefer the "L" not the "lexus" bit. But he cant do that, already checked. lol. I think ill just get my steering wheel re-trimmed professionally eventually.

Come on guys....we need our 20th person!!!

No worries Julia, let me know when you're ready.

Alen, I've got those lights fitted now...they look awesome in my opinion. The light output is much brighter as well because they have clear lenses. There is one pic of them fitted if you go back a page on this thread. Why...you wanna buy em off me?
