Aftermarket Leather Seats
I'm looking at reupholstering the cloth seats, but I have absolutely no clue of where to even look, which brands might have a good reputation for quality, etc.
Anyone have any tips? Or pictures of reupholstered leather seats they've had done?

To echo everyone, Katzkins are they best. Also check out Leatherseats.com. They use the same leathers as Katzkins but will ship directly to you in case you want to take on the challenge of installing them yourself or want to use an upholstery shop that isn't an authorized Katzkins installer.

I'd imagine they would sell leather takeoffs on eBay. Did that to a base mustang I had. Got them for around $350 from roush. Provably not available yet but they will be soon. The job isn't too difficult. Never did upholstery before and did it over an afternoon. Everything just clips on.

After looking at Katzkin and Leatherseats.com, I'm inclined towards the Leatherseats.com, mainly for the much greater customization options.
I see with leatherseats.com that they offer choices in how much of the covering is leather and how much is vinyl. Does anyone know what the mix would be on the factory leather seats? I don't offhand see why I would want 100% leather covering everything, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.
