2000 Ls 400 Platinum - Need Royale Leather Source

[codylabrador]

I have a black on black 2000 Lexus LS 400 Platinum Edition with 121,000 miles.

The center panel in the driver's seat has split (in the middle - not at the seam). The Platinum Edition has what Lexus describes as the "Uniquely textured Royale leather trim".

I've checked with the dealer and can only purchase a full seat cover for $1000.00 (ouch!). This should be about a $250.00 patch panel repair at most - I just need to find the correct black "Royale" leather.

Can any of you fellow Lexus owners help direct me to a vendor or jobber that sells black "Royale" leather?

I've owned a 2000 LS400 Platinum for eight years and have never seen the "lizard leather" panels available separately. Have you consulted an upholstery repair shop? Some of these guys are like miracle workers.

Or just have the panel replaced with regular leather - nobody is going to see it while your !Removed! is in the seat! :whistles:

If you still have your LS400 would you be interested in selling it ?
