Anybody seen this Katzskin leather kit?

[steffen707]

Did some research.....turns out that these can be ordered from the factory and the jeep is delivered to the dealer with them installed......but.....since you aren't ordering the leather interior pkg, you wont get the upgraded door leather -ish armrest covers, ebrake leather handle, stitched dash or leather-ish center console lid.

is there a way to get the armrest covers, ebrake, ect?

Yes

Do the accent pieces include the doors and center console?

You would have to order the standard leather package to get all the leather accents. If you want the Katzkin, then you would have to do that through your dealer (if you want the Jeep logos) or go third party.

Yep. Great deal, eh?

Here are a few pics if Katzkins. They can pretty much customize however you want them. The leather clazzio seat covers for the Tacoma look pretty good as a 500 do it yourself option. Those are just covers though. I’ve never seen a Jeep with them but I’ll probably consider them.

Maybe i can get custom Katzkin's with the diamond in a real dark saddle color, but with green like accenting. Or better yet, Saddle with their Gator print, to go with my Gator Gladiator, oh yeah.

Yea, that will be sweet. I showed Sport Wranglers to get an idea of interior pieces.

Is it just me but the Katzkins never look like they are put on as tight as the factory leather. Seems to always have wrinkles and a bit saggy in spots.

Good. They'll match me.

I've seen both. Totally depends on the installer, but I would be pissed if mine stayed saggy. IIRC it takes a bit to settle in and then should be good.

Depends on the vehicle and the installer. As they have their own Mopar line, I assume these will be very well made and look great if installed by a Katzkin installer. Lots of people order them and do install themselves. Those can look unprofessional.

These look great, and I REALLY like the idea of cooled seats...but the cost seems high. I’m guessing their page isn’t optimized for an ipad, ( or maybe just Chrome on an iPad) because it seems really glitchy and won’t let me customize at all...but from what I can tell, to get both seats heated and cooled is about $2000, but that might not include custom colorization?

that is MSRP You can find an installer that will do it for around $100 pretty easy. Katzkin sells to local upholstry shops that do the install. Dealers have a couple that they send their cars to be done. You can always negotiate the amount into the deal ($1200) dont go over that amount by very much. Or ask the salesman which shop they use. Google searches will also list the local Katzkin installers in your area. Some will want MSRP and other will do for less. Just find one that negotiates. Takes one day in most cases.
