Notice how loose the leather is on my pic from above.. Not nearly as tight as my leather that came in my touring. I guess my leather will eventually break in and could look like this. I don't know....

NOTE: could you believe they are asking for $2,500 for the leather upgrade on this car....

Wow, that looks kinda bad. You say that is the Nissan "approved" leather? None of the others on the board that have had the upgrade have anything near that loose and sloppy.

i think i need to make this point:

there is a lot of the look which depends on the install.

aggie300 and I are lucky to go to one of the best installers for the katzkin product.

we dont know who installed that kit on the car. it could have been the car wash guys out back...

either way. i like my seats better

If it is the Nissan approved leather, it is Classic Soft Trim who has the contract with NNA, not Katzkin. Alot of dealers do not use the NNA leather kit because it costs more than the vendors brand kit. If that is the case, you do not really get "factory approved" leather. It has to be the NNA kit.
