    Are katskins better quality then OEM..talk to me

    clazzios are pretty damn nice and they are real leather. other than that you could just get a company to re apolstry your seats with leather

    I thought of looking for a totaled limited or pro and switching out seats since I live in San Diego and there are TONS of junkyards here but I decided to go Clazzio route. I LOVE THEM.
    Definitely recommend Clazzio and I think a lot of people on here will agree. Very easy install, about 2-4 hours depending... but yeah I'm very pleased with mine.

    Clazzios or Katzkin are your two main options that most here go with. Both have great reviews; clazzios are a cover and katzkins require replacing the original fabric. A search will show TONS of options. Truly custom would require an upholstery shop. My dad does it and quoted about $1500 with labor, amazing quality BUT more expensive.

    Clazzio and Katzkin are comparable in price.

    +1 for Clazzio.

    for $1500 its probably better than OEM..actually thats a guess. and still cheaper than getting new seats.

    Had a set of Clazzios overtop my torn 250k mile Seqouia seat. They were so nice it looked awkward in my 2001 haha, can't recommend enough.

    Very much so. He mostly does 32’ coups and hot rods. BUT I haven’t heard anyone with complaints on the Clazzio, Katzkin, Wet Okole or Bartact. The first two are your leather options though. At $600 and up, they can’t really be beat.

    Friends are always amazed that my Clazzios are aftermarket and I installed them myself. They look OEM and I was able to gain heated seats too!

    Buddy had katzkin put in on his new suburban. All three rows. Hes not a huge car guy but he commented on how great they look and feel.

    When I do the mod I am leaning towards katzkin

    Clazzio. Excellent quality and you can install them yourself. It took me about 3 hours to install mine. They are covers so they can be removed if needed. Cost is $600 to $800 so more economic than Katzkins. I would recommend not buying the PCV but get the leather ones. https://www.clazzio.com/car-leather-kits.php

    I love my katskins seats covers. I got mine black Friday for 835 and installed them myself. I think they look great.

    I have Clazzios, as mentioned before, still look brand new. Pics are from when I was installing, back seat bottoms were not on yet.

    +1 for Katzkin, it’s the best quality. They make the OEM leather seats for a lot of car manufacturers.

    Roadwire is crap, steer away from it.
