Getting Katzkin Leather. Could Use Some Input / Feedback

[JETNC]

I did and absolutely love it. I went with Katzkin Leather and it looks as good as factory. Paid $1800 installed for the premium custom.

Replied to the wrong post lol.

where did you get it done?

Called Katzin and they will set you up in your area. Auto Toys was my installer in Charlotte NC, Katzkin's prices are better than if you go in and have them price it. They wasn't offering the 20% and it would have cost me $2200 to have done. It took them 3hrs roughly to do it.

I did it in as close to the color of my Gator on the wings, love it! It turned out better than my expectations

Man, that looks so good.

I'm going to get the process started next week to have Katzkin installed. Just curious what everyone has who's done it and if anyone in NC can recommend a shop around the Charlotte NC area. Still trying to decide what route I want to go, weather it be a basic black or some kind of stitching. Working with a $2000 budget.

Show me what you got and give me some idea's. My jeep is Gator colored and has the charcoal looking interior.

I know you're done with your deal and all but thought you would appreciate the katzskinz we did for my wife's gator JT.

Not Gator, but here's what I did with my Gobi. I paid more than Jamie (2300), but I also got more custom touches. The diamond stitch and Mojave embroidery weren't free after all.

Looks good. Seems to be a good match to the armorlite. What tan is that?

I think they look good but it would drive me crazy with the plain rear middle seat not matching

Did mine on my JK by myself. The only thing I had to buy was a good hog-ring pliers and some hog-rings. The head rests were the hardest part.

A lot of red but looks good. How much did you save by installing yourself?

I got the leather and the tools for under 800$. The job was easy, took the seats out and did them in my living room.

Is the Katzkin leather, once installed, more taught then the cloth? Essentially does it increase comfort by providing more support? I'm 210lbs and my a$$ and lower back seem to feel more seat framing/structure in my cloth seats than previous jeeps so I'm wondering if they'd be more comfortable in that regard.

It feels like you got more padding for sure. It honestly feels as good as my wife's premium leather in her 2017 BMW X5 50i. She even said the seats feel like they have more comfort to them.

Very cool, thanks!
