Thinking about changing out my stock leather seats for some dual color Katzkin leather seat covers. Anybody have an experience with this brand?

And anybody want to buy my stock leather seat covers? Less than 3K miles use on drivers seat, 500 miles on passenger seat, and rear seats never sat in. Parchement in color.

Thanks!

I'm going with Katskin, my other choice was Classic (which I used in my Altima). My leather guy prefers Katskin, he says he feels like it is a bit thicker. But he said they are both good. It might just boil down to who your installer deals with, and maybe colors choices. I'm going with a blue/white combo, and I liked the Katksin blue better.

Keep in mind that both of these companies use leather/vinyl combos (with vinyl on the outside) as vinyl wears alot better. You could go leather on both sides, but everyone I talked to was against it. Just my .02 worth. Post pixs when your done.......

Katzkin's good stuff, I've seen it lots of times. I know the look you're going for and like that too.
I assume you're going to try to go tan/black? Just don't let them talk you into the 'Stang' logo on the seatback. GT,running pony,tri-bar would look cool though. Good luck!

Yep, you got it nailed. Black and tan, but not crazy about the "Stang" or "Venom" logo, but the GT or running pony/tri-bar would be cool. We've got the same taste.

I'll post pics when its done. Sounds like it could be a few weeks.

Mine is running about $1200 installed, and that includes the doors.

I think this is why I'm having mine professionally installed. Did you see the pass. seat? Kind of loose??

I got my leather kit from Katzkin, but it won't be installed for another couple of weeks. I promised a photo of what mine looks like.. At least, some of you will have an idea of what they have to offer.. The entire front side of the kit is leather.. The sides are vinyl. The only 2 custom options I ordered were double stiching to match the exterior of the car and suede inserts. Katzkin has tons of options and I have been very satisfied with their products. IMO, the quality of fit and materials are well above of what factory has to offer.. The kit comes with both front and rear seat covers and cost me around $600ish.. I, also, added heated seats for another $140.. This is what I was charged by my installer NOT Katzkin..

Please keep in mind that if you customized your ordered and once it is delivered to you IT IS YOURS.. Katzkin always double checks and makes sure what you ordered is what you want.

I like the blue stitching and the suede inserts. Looks good, and a one of a kind.
