Help with leather seats?

I did two-tone katzskin leather on my Tacoma a few years ago and love it. Still look great and I saved money and installed them myself. Not a bad route

I have heard quite a few guys say that they love their katzkin leather. How difficult was it for you to install yours? Did you take the seats out to do it? Install seat heaters?

I did do seat heaters and yes I took all the seats out. It was a lot of work but not too hard. I would do it again over paying someone to do it. Heated seats are great.

I did it too, i bought my kit from leatherseats.com.. I also did heated seat sensors too, the result was fantastic, and believe it or not, I had people compare their oem leather seats to mine, and liked my setup a lot more than their setup..
onzedge and firulice like this.
