I've always wanted a car with leather and then i've always wanted the wrx and since we all know the wrx doesn't come with leather i must go aftermarket. On every msg board for every car there seems to be a post about katzkin leather so i was wondering if anyone has ever ordered from them, and how was your experience with them. Also if you have pictures that would be greatly appreciated.

Also they now offer seat heaters has anyone bought these from them, and if you have do they come with a control like a normal car would or what.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Matt

try this place,
http://www.leatherseats.com/ cheaper than katskin.

I just order the whole set from them for my sonic yellow WRX, great price, great customer service. I pick graphite with maize insert. I also order the heated seats, it work out great, installation require some skill and time. Ask for Jeremey, said Luong from California refer you.

WOW that looks really good, if you don't mind saying, how much did you spend on the entire setup instaling it yourself. I know its going to be hard to install but everything i do to my car i do it myself so i would love to do this myself too.
Thanks a lot

I bought my '02 WRX used and the car had Katzkin already in it. Apparently the car had the leather installed when new. It looks really good and I am very impressed with the quality of the leather. I have seen really bad aftermarket leather over my years in the car business and I totally recommend it from them. The question is if they have different types. Which I dont know if they do or not. Mine is black with the WRX logo sewn in the center of the front two seats.

$1100 include heated seats for the front. Rectangular heated seats switchs right below center armrest, look very factory (not installed at time of picture). Few complications at door insert and heated seat opening, switch slightly larger than opening. I found out a better way of doing the door insert than the provided instructions. You can save some money if you choose to have less leather, ask Jeremy for more detail on package option. Leather quality is unknown.

So how do these seat covers deal with the SRS?

Thanks,
Ward

they have a section with differnent(butterfly, i think) stitching that allows them SRS to work...

i bought these wayyyy back with leatherseats.com GB.. installed em myself... just requires patience and a bit of skill .. not too hard

i added a little extra padding in certain areas for the leather to totally fill out... the seats are fairly easy.. the side door panels are a PAIN... i did mine with the vinyl they provided... looked great for bout a year.. then it shrunk im still looking for material that will look ok there besides vinyl.. i was told leather is too hard to get to fit right there.. so im still looking =)

im in LA now so if anybody wants help with these or wants me to do them for u (i need $!!! lol) let me know

I got seats from leatherseats.com on a group buy on this board for appx $750. I couldn't figure out how to get the door panels in and had to have a pro do it. It cost me $150. But the first guy I went to wanted charge $500. I told him in no uncertain terms that drugs are bad for you, he should try smoking less of them, and I would leave the stock ones on forever if that's what it cost. He told me go ahead I'm the only deal in town blah blah blah. LOL @ him.
