Katzkin Seat Covers

Ok so i ordered them from www.autointeriorslive.com It took almost exactly a month to get them mailed and shipped. When i got the covers i inspected them and found a defect in one of the head rest covers. It looks like when it was sewed together the leather got pinched. Anyways i called Autointerior around 4pm and left a message detailing my problem, about 5:30 i got a return call from them saying that they had already contacted Katzkin and that they were gonna make another the next day and overnight it that day! true to there word i got a email confirming my headrest cover was sitting on my front porch as promised two days later. I would recommend them to anyone they were great.

So Ive only done the front seats so far and the headrests. will do the rest sometime this week.

here is some pics:

 

Looks great! Do those go over the existing covers or do you remove before putting new ones on?

 

You remove the old ones before installing these.

 

They look great. Are they air bag friendly?

 

I'd like to do this too. What colors are those?

 

How much did those set you back. Been wanting leather for a while now.

How bad was the install?

 

Those really look good. How much trouble were they to install?

 

Ya its an option when your order. they even have the SRS tag like the factory ones

 

beige and black with beige stitching.

 

They were about 800. I was a ford mechanic for about 6 years specializing in interior trim. so for me it wasn't hard. I would say anyone with enough patience can do it.

 

Looks great and I really like the colors. Did you do the install yourself? If so, how much trouble was it and did you have any experience going in?

 

ya i installed it myself. check the post above yours.

 

My bad, I must have been typing while you posted. Any special tools required?

 

Its cool. ya the only special tool i needed was hog ring pliers and hog rings. witch i ended up finding at Tractor Supply.

 

Nice! looks good!

I installed black katzkin covers in my double cab and I love them. So much easier to keep clean. All of those wrinkles should smooth out after a few days in the sun. Mine did.

 

Thanks. im loving them so far. and yeah ive noticed so of the wrinkles going away already.

 

Very Very nice work man.

Really looks sweet.

With your talents...you should do the elbow rests and hand grips on the door panels to match.

 

Thanks so much. i am about to finish the armrests on the door panles this weekend... i hope. Im doing them in black leather. Also going to take the center console lid to a local interior shop to get it covered in black. think that ones outta my range... cant sew.

 

Before you do the door panels, check out my thread. I'm so glad I added the foam padding. I also added it to the center console and wrapped that in black pleather.

How is the color match? It says on the website you posted that 2009 Tacomas with the tan interior should go with "Ivory" leather.
