KATZKIN Leather Seat Group Buy

A few pics of my Katzkin leather. Very nice. Quite happy with it. The ride is a 2010 sport sans hood scoop and graphics.

thx!!

Installed by CTU of auburn alabama..

who left exposed wires 10 of them under the sill plate either cut into or peeled off sheathing to find switched power. They say it is ok to have exposed copper under the door sill plate, toyota service said no way. They lost a seat bolt. scratched car, one seat heater works the other doesnt. I gave up. I am cleaning up their exposed wires and doing the job right. Funny thing is anything I point out to them it is my fault. Caution dealing with these guys. Maybe they can do fab work for trucks but do not let them touch your wiring.

one more time the faulty seat heater was because they connected to the headlight wiring, so I turn on switch, turn on lights and I have heat. Again be careful with these guys

 

I had Katzkin installed in a BMW several years ago; dove grey, to match trim, with blue perforated suede, to match exterior color. I'm considering it again.

I have a 2005 Reg Cab PreRunner with bucket seats [fold-flat passenger seat].
I have two packages I'm considering.

Both Reg kit [FULL leather]

Combo style: One Tone
Wrap Color: Ice Grey [Whatever color matches factory interior]
Accent Color: N/A
Perforation: Combo

or

Combo style: Combo
Wrap Color: Ice Grey
Accent Color: Suedezkin Fog [or whatever color is closest to the Ice Grey]
Perforation: Combo [basically, the suede is perforated]

 

Oooh, do the suede. I'd have been all over a suede insert if it wasn't a work truck. Part of my reason for getting the leather was for quick easy cleanup of dust and dog hair.

 

Just wanted to pass on that there is a discount code from Redline and it works through the link previously posted. It's 77Q5CT6G66D and is good until July 22nd. They post codes on their Facebook page so may want to check there before ordering. It was 10% off so with the leather, stitching, foam and shipping order came to $70.

Also just ordered my Katzkin from the group buy. Easy to deal with and work with. I'll post pics when they are installed.

 

Ordered my Katzkin from the group buy yesterday, can't wait to get them. John was great to deal with for the ordering process.

 

If you've had a good experience, or any expreience working with John, go to this link and leave a post about it and answer the poll.

It'd be cool to have an offical leather vendor for this site, as well as good business for John.

Finally got pictures of my install. It's a DC Sport, deluxe kit, graphite and ice grey in the center pattern with 2 tone headrest, graphite contrast stitch & front row heat.

I love it. The seats are awesome. Never hooked up the harnesses or installed the switches for the seat heaters yet (it's summer after all) but I bench tested them and they worked. The graphite is a little lighter than the recommended match dark graphite but it is a better match for the Redline console/door pull covers that are in charcoal/medium grey.

Only bad thing is I glued out the front door armrests different than I did the back and theres a small bubble on the driver's a bigger bubble on the passengers. Then I melted the armrests back on instead of using screws and the passenger one let go when someone leaned on it. Gotta fix those too fook ups yet.

On to the pics:

 

dang that looks sharp!

 

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the pics bud.. Setup looks great and thank you for clarifying the color matches. John

 

What kind of paint you guys using to paint your window control panel black? I tested mine with plasti-dip to see if I liked it, but it is not holding up well. So I think I want to make it permanent.

Anything special or just good ol' rattle can?

 

I use Krylon Fusion for plastic for all my stuff. It works great caus it's made for painting plastic and you can get it in pretty much what ever color you want.

 

What he said.
Mine:

 

OER, SEM and Eastwood make plastic and vinyl paints and dyes. I used OER.

 

Here is a couple more kick ass kits on their way to Dave333 and bdd151! Two guys close in taste but just enough to make it their own Cant wait to see the finished installs right here on TW.

 

man those look sharp!

 

Damn those make my solid color katz look boring! Look awesome!

 

Those second ones are almost identical to mine except the sport logo.

 

Hey John it is Trevor. Got the seats. Have not installed them yet. Hit me back.
Trevor

 

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! John I think I want new seats....
