95LS400Bob Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 This is gonna be a pretty wide topic. But it may help someone down the road. My 95 LS had a rather bad door panel. I picked up 3 door panels from a guy who had wrecked his Lexus. I still have the rear door panels as mine are fine shape if someone needs them. They are tan color. I picked up a driver seat that was also in the wreck. The back didn't sit straight on the seat so I transferred the leather to my good seat. This is quite a job and pretty involved. I know some of you had thought about doing it. I did it and it will take you all day and then some for those considering doing it. I have a lot of seat parts left...motors, frame, etc if someone needs some parts. Now what is left is to get the center console recovered. I hope I find someone in town to do it with leather or very close vinyl match. I also could use a passenger seat or the leather upholstery (tan color). I priced the seat cover at Lexus which is totally crazy. The website Leatherseats.com doesn't show seat upholstery for 1995 and 1996 but they do the earlier models. Don't know why that is. And my pet peave is the center caps for the chrome 10 slot wheels. I have a missing Gold Logo and was never able to find just a logo. I found some Logo's on Ebay but they were smaller. Then I thought I got lucky and found a center cap with a gold Logo from Park Place Lexus. But when it got here, it was 7 1/2" diameter which is for an older Lexus. And stranger yet..the Logo was correct and the right size, yet on the back of the cap it said "Taiwan". Finally I just bought a generic center cap from Capitol Hubcap which is a Taiwan item and a generic logo. The Logo I need is 2.730 wide and 2 inches high. I can use either gold or silver (I painted a silver one and it looks pretty good). I know there are a lot of different sizes out there but not sure which years are which sizes. My center caps are chrome and are 7 inches across. If someone stumbles across these logo's or caps please let me know. The center cap I bought will get you by but not best quality for sure. The Logo is glued on and not clipped: http://www.capitalwheels.com/store/custome...05&cat=6&page=1 Another place I found was below. They have the caps available with no logo, a generic logo or with just the slots cut in them so your original logo will fit: http://www.prestigewheel.com/ImageLexusCapsretail.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95LS400Bob Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I just sent a letter to Leatherseats.com asking them about getting a center console cover made in Sandstone leather (close match to the Lexus tan). I'll keep this thread posted on what they say. Also asked them if a 94 would fit as I know they make them for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95LS400Bob Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Leatherseats.com just replied and said they had a pattern for 1995/1996 Ls400's for the center console cover and would make one for $85.00. He evidently has a leather seat kit for the 1995/96's also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 He has patterns for all of the models I think. They run some great specials on ClubLexus group buys. They have tons of pictures in their group buy thread (their LS pattern is gorgeous!). ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 They have a sandstone on ebay one right now for dirt,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95LS400Bob Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 They have a sandstone on ebay one right now for dirt,. ← The ones on Ebay are for the early models. On his website he shows only the 60 to 93 Ls400 available. But..he just emailed me and said he has patterns for LS400's clear up to 2000.
