katzkin leather install

[NYMZ5]

the leather fits exactly as the original covers do, so underseat storage is the same. katskin copies the factory template to a T.

NYMZ5, ah, thanks for clearing that up. It's tempting, how do you buy it direct from katzskin?

 

[NYMZ5]

actually I don't think you can buy directly anymore, but if you google it you'll find a bunch of online dealers. best to go to a local dealer and look at the swatch book in person, online colors are not accurate.
personally, I think it's best to have a shop install them. I did a katskin set on a pickup truck (that was just 2 seats) and it was not easy. there is an art to making it fit right and I think that the $400-500 labor charge to do the 5 is $ well spent. but if you're on a tight budget and you have some time and patience...(RTM)

Hey Kid Red,

I went to http://www.autoleathers.com to order my Katzkin leather seat covers. They are out of CA, but their website is very helpful. Just one option for U.

Awesome, thanks for the link. How do you order the seats tho? I see only Fords and 2005?

Ah, found an alternative-

classicsofttrim has a great reputation, but limited number of installation centers (at least here in NY). also I don't think you can order a diy kit from them.

Ah, drats. Thanks for the info at least.
