    I'm paying $400 for an access cab. There were two factory approved installers in my area. One didn't return my calls and the other wants $400. I'm not happy with it, but want it done right and they are known to be a good shop. They also offer a three year warranty, whatever that means... All in I'm at about $1400, but I got seat heaters, two-tone perforated seats, accent stitching and a logo. More than I wanted to spend, but what the hell.

    Thanks John. A pleasure working with you. The seats were not that hard to install, but it took a good 9 hours to install. Great Product.

    Finally got mine installed this week. Did the wiring and switch mounting myself, and had an upholstery shop install the heaters and leather. Looks awesome and feels great. The heaters kick ass. On the high setting they are hotter that my 2015 Volvo's. It should be noted that the Katzkin heater instructions say that you should never leave them on the high setting for long periods - it's a preheat setting and you are supposed to switch to low once things are nice and warmed up. It's 20 degrees here today, and that's how we used them. No complaints. I put a 35 amp weatherproof relay between the battery and the heater harnesses, so they only get power when the key is on.

    John - How about a quick rundown on cleaning and maintenance? Are there any special products that you recommend, and with what frequency?

    I personally like to use Maguires Gold Class leather cleaner and conditioner. I treat it every two weeks as my car is my business card. I typically take a wet micro fiber and spray it directly on the towel when treating the perforated area to prevent build up inside the holes. You will notice just after the first application that there is a smoother entry/exit to prevent the wear and tear
