Arrow Pictures of my new Katzkin leather interior!!!

Finally got around to putting my new leather on and it came out better then I expected! Its a dark graphite and the insert has been discontinued. The insert color matches the color of my car perfectly! It took about half the day removing the seats and putting the covers on so it wasnt too bad. Heres a few pictures








I'll post some pictures in a few days with it all in the car. Still have a few things I need to do since the seats are out.

The colours are nice, but i dont like how all the aftermarket covers fit. They seam too loose, not taking the shape of the seat.

So do they just slide over or do you need to knwo interior well to put them on, i was lookin at somethin like this or leather but I never messed with interior and I was told its somewhat difficult without the right tools.

Where did you buy them?

Katzkin is not the type seat cover you are talking about. It is a replacement. My Katzkin fits every bit a snug as the original leather and is much higher quality than GM used.

Looks awesome! It's cool that you were able to find inserts that match your car's unique color...

I've seen them both ways. If they are professionally installed by a shop they fit great. Normally the ones that fit so loose are the ones that are either done by a shop who doesn't deal with car interiors on a regular basis, or a do-it-yourselfer job.

How much did those run you? I'm big on aesthetics and I'd love to replace the leather in my car.

Got my 35th Anny style seats from leatherseats.com and they fit great. They also still look brand new after 2 years. Can't say the same about the stock garbage.

BTW, those seat covers look awesome!! How the hell did they get it match your car is what I'd like to know?

Aftermarket leather covers are supposed to tighten up once they get warmed up in the sunlight. I don't know if they do, but that's what the manufacturers say. Later

thanks guys!!!

A long time ago I saw a color they had and I ordered it, they told me I was lucky since they were just about to remove it from their colors. My father in law helped me with the install and it wasnt too bad. It was my first time doing this, only part that was kinda hard was using those damn hog pins. The quailty is a lot better then my stock leather, makes my stock leather look plastic
Gotta also thank BoneSS for renting me the install kit. The cost on these are over $800

thats right, they fit very good right now and will fit even better once they see some sun.
