    From John Huey's Katzkin group buy thread...
    Deluxe Kit - Leather is on the front of the seat and vinyl is on the sides and back of the seat. On the rear seats you have leather in the middle of each seat and vinyl everywhere else.

    Regular Kit - Full leather in front of two front seats. Leather is in "contact" areas of back seats.

    I purchased the regular kit.

    Love it. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Katzins, and hoping you could answer a question for me. Did you order "Black" and how close does it match the factory middle arm rest, upper dash/door panels, etc? I'm trying to decide if Black, Dk. Graphite, Graphite, or Charcoal would be the closest match, and without a sample to compare, it's difficult. Thanks!

    I've got two tone....the middle panels are black. They match just fine. I'm looking to eventually get the center console in black leather. Left it as is for now since it is black already (new for 2012).

    Too many to list now.
    You might have answered this somewhere but what model is that sunroof? I've been pricing them out for a while now and I really like that one. Seems like a perfect size

    I really like the roof, I'd love to have one myself.

    My question about the sunroof.... Does the window have drain tubes to collect rain like most factory roofs?

    I ask because the unit sits flush with the roof.

    BTW, Your installer did a fabulous job... especially on the interior headliner.

    Like the leather seats, not sure about the dark inserts (I'd flip it, dark bolsters & light seat/back area...or go all light, maybe w/ dark piping)

    do not like the future roof leak. :D

    Yes, there are drain tubes that run down the A-pillars. I'll go back to the installer annually free of charge to clean out the tubes with air pressure if any debris is in there.

    The roof sits inside the trim ring, which is specifically for Inalfa. The trim ring is "raised" above the roof. it acts like a C-clamp all the way around the cut-out.
