Leather seats

Where's the best place to get leather for the front and rear seats? I've been looking at Katzkin.com. Is that stuff any good?

Katzkin are damn near the best aftermarket leather kits you can buy. I live in Seattle and i have a buddy who works for them. The quality of the leather is awesome. He has hooked up my old Teg and several of my friends rides. IMO the company rocks, and the color/texture combinations are sweet!!

Definately two thumbs up from me.

I'll be ordering a set from Katzskin in the next two weeks . . . black leather with balck suede inserts. Most people seem to think they are one of the better places out there. I emailed the regional rep for my area and he put me in touch with a guy who has been able to get all my questions answered and sent me out some free color samples. -Tim

It's good to hear that. I think I'll save up to buy from them then.

That's exactly what I want too. Black leather with black suede inserts.

I was going to go black with grey suede inserts, but I think the I like the understated all-black a little more. I should be ordering them next week and will post pics whenever they show up. I've heard installation is time consuming, but interning in the middle of nowhere TN gives me nothing but time. I can just take out one seat at a time and work on it after work, until I get them all finished.

It's about $700-800 depending on your options. Go to www.autoleathers.com to see the prices.

I might be selling my OEM heat leather seats in favor of race seats.... Mine are the OEM which means they aren't dealer installed

Not sure of the price yet.... but here are some pics (probably more than 800$ since they include the seats themselves)...

Before I installed them...




Installed....


I might included my door panels as well since they have the switches for the heat seats.
