    Oh I see what ya mean. Unfortunately, you would almost have to start from scratch. Your Katzkin Leather cover has to be specially built to accommodate the units. Along with perforation, Katzkin sews in a special Reticulated foam that allows the air to travel through the seat cover.

    Unfortunately I get less than a $20 break on fronts only vs. the whole kit. Strange I know but that is how both Katzkin and Roadwire price.... I would have to get $675 for just the fronts and I'm not sure that's a good deal for you's.
    The door cards are included in a matching VINYL either way.

    This may sound like a stupid question, but many of us would prefer that our seat bottoms contain more elevating near the front of the seat, to provide more support under the knees for taller people. Is it possible to use additional cushion material under the front of the seat bottom, before the leather is installed? Have you ever heard of this? Thanks!

    Haven't heard of this but you can add a lil foam up front if you prefer. These covers fit super tight so the more ya add the tougher it'll be to wrap. Maybe a spacer under the front of the seat frame with longer bolts may be a solution?? I do this quite often in the rear seat of the new Wranglers to give them a slight recline. Just a thought?

    That's exactly what I'm looking for, is a slight recline. There's many people on these forums that have tried the spacer method, but the safety concern always comes up as an issue. If you look at the above pictures, you can see that the front mounting bolt is on an angle, so this poses an additional challenge. Also, some engineering types feel it compromises the tolerances and strength of the seat in the event of a bad collision.

    Another quick question. I think the leather looks great, my concern is several of the pictures I've seen in certain areas the leather looks slightly loose. On most factory leather cars I've owned the leather is very tight fitting. You can't see any ripples. Does this have to do with quality of the install? Or does it need to settle a bit after installation? Thanks much!

    Basically these covers only go on one way. I always suggest a lil silicon spray to help the leather slide into a position it is intended for. Yes, most of these pics are taken right after install and right after the leather has been sitting in a box for at least a week. Seems like in just a couple days depending on use and temp they relax to fit snug. I'm sure a couple followers would agree.

    How much is it to add Degreez? I have heated seats but man I'd love a/c seats on a long summer drive.

    Do you have a Canadian distributor?

    The Degreez Heated/Cooled kits are $375/each. BUT the Katzkin kit must be specially stitched up with a special Reticulated foam to accommodate these kits
    (+$50)
    I have no problem shipping to Canada if needed.
