Custom Leather Seats

meduus · April 15, 2003

Even I haven't recieved my IS200 yet, I was surfing around the net and found a local place where they make leather upholstery for a really good price. At first I thought I don't want leather seats anyway ( my IS200 was available with standard package only, so it doesn't have leather seats ), but with $1000 pricetag for all the seats and door upholstery I have changed my mind :) So anyone done it to their IS? or could somebody point me to a really good webgallery with custom leather seats or something cause I havent decided yet which color sheme I want use for my Silver Metallic IS200 interior ( originally comes in black )

Thanks in advance,

In the UK the IS200 SE/Sport (which most people have) comes with half leather as standard which does look very nice so very few people (only one I know of!) have upgraded this to full leather.

I live in Estonia and the standard package is with a black textile interior, witch is actually quite nice ( much better looking than BMWs standard seat upholstery, witch is terrible I think ), but ATM i think I want a combination of real leather and Alcantara in bicolor ( black and grey probably ).

Can't link to the pictures! The picture has the word "rear" and "seat" next to each other so they have "a-r-s-e" when put together - the board removes this!

hi meddus

the seat options was one of the things that i was disappointed with, would prefer the full leather with more colour options, makes the car more individual. i got a dark blue IS wit the cream interior, still looks class though.

i'd say light grey/silver coloured leather plain or with maybe a black middle??

cousin has a mercedes CLK convertible in silver with a blue hood and has grey leather with a dark blue middle to match the hood and looks very nice

seen red leather seats in porsche boxster (nearly had it before the Lex but couldnt get insured) and looked very nice.

always wanted red leather interior, personnal choice though, depends how much of the PIMP look u want......... haha

next car will have it for sure
