I have katskins... what do you want to know??

check out Autoleathers.com

they are located near La in CA. Give them a call and ask them to send you a booklet of sample swatches to pick you interior colors and make sure that they match and it's waht you want... it's free

I emailed one of the guys at Katzkin a wheel back and asked him the difference. I don't remember exactly what he said, but basically it was service after the sale and the hides were better on the katzkins. Of coarse this is coming from someone selling them so take it for what its worth.

I would't guess... I took a wild guess from the colors they had on their site and when I got the swatches in the mail to match up in my truck with the stock interior, it was WAY off. Do yourself a favor and ask them to send them to you.. it's free.

The rims are 22" Centerline Stingray 3's.

I worked at a dealer ship that would to classic soft tirm for customers that wanted leather added.. Had a few SUV's done. I have Katskins. So Ive seen both. I think the Katskins is a slightly better build.

P.S. If you do go the Katskins route I have some coupons.

I have Katzkin too but, the leather on the front seat is about 20% of the whole seat, on the back bench it's about 10%. So, where is the #@$%^ leather????
I would say IT IS VINYL WITH leather INSERTS.

every part on my Katskins are Genuine 100% leather, and the inserts are genuine Suede..... I think you are tripping or maybe yo actually got jipped

Here's what I got from their site :

Standard interiors have full leather faces on the front row, and leather inserts in the rear seats.

Premium interiors have full leather faces on the front row, and leather seating surfaces in the rear seats.

Vinyl kits are all vinyl.
