Default Houndstooth Seat Upolstry Kit

I see Hawks 3rd Gen sells a replacement seat cover kit that has the houndstooth inserts but they only come in vinyl. Is there any reason they only come in vinyl? Does anyone know of anyone that sells them with leather? I know the houndstooth is cloth.

I dont know where you can buy leather ones at but I had the kit from Hawks and I loved it. The customer service is awesome also.

We sell the houndstooth material by itself if you're interested. Our local guy charges under $500 to replace your seat centers with houndstooth centers. Look into it, it might be cheaper in the long run to do it that way (just replacing the center sections).

It is the same pattern. Look closely at the close up shot of his logo, Danny...

Does the Hawks kit go over the seats like seat covers or replace the current covering on the seat?

That vinyl WEARS quickly though. Also you would have to be extremely careful putting leather protectants on the seat as well.

I think they look badass though....
