Default New leather...need options

My seats are starting to show some wear so I would like to recover them. Just wondering if anyone knows of any quality replacements. I really don't want to replace the entire seats or use the same factory leather. I remember reading about a company called katskins (?), they were supposed to have very good stuff but also very pricey. What are some other options?

You could always take it to a custom shop around town. A few people have done that. Here's my seats:

Taking it to a shop to get custom made, will definately be more expensive than getting the Katzkin leathers. If you do the swap yourself, the katzkin will only run you around 700 bucks, depending on your options.

I got the katzkin kit from autoleathers.com. Check out their website, they've got most of the options & prices listed...
Good luck!
