I can't wait to see this! Katzkin also makes heated seats... so you can get nice leather and heated seats in your track model. Are there any other options that you can get in touring that you can't get in the track model?

no i didn't install it myself. it was through an authorized katzkin dealer. it cost me 700 dollars because it slexis200 did it together in a double deal. usually the dealer would charge 800.

Clarification: $700 is labor & materials (installation & leather). Right?

yup 700 labor plus material. took them about 1 hour to finish the job, i was very tempted to add the massaging seats from katzkin too, it would only cost me 200 extra. but i had to save money for other mods.

Thumbs up

That looks great!!! I think you definitely helped me decide that a Track is the way to go, and then just get katzkin seats with their heated seats package!

Yeah, i wanted to do it when i first got my car..... Then i was like, ah i dont need it. But when Wayne (mysterium) told me we could get it for 700 installed, i had to do it!!! I doubt anyone will find a better price, and its 650 with out perforation!!!! I think the quality is very good..... cant wait till mine is installed!

maybe its just me but whats with all aftermarket leather looking "puffy". I like how stock leather comes "tight". Maybe its cause they use a different filling? Is it like an option or something?

yeah you are right, they are little puffy, because the fitting has to be slightly oversize. other wise it's very hard to install. The dealer told me the seats will tighten in about 2-3 month. the "puffy" look is normal. i also called both katzkin and classic softtrim to confirm this, they told me the same as the dealer did.

by the way for anyone who want to get aftermarket leather seats. both katzkin and classicsoft trim do not charge for two tone and contrast stitching, they will charge extra for perforation. i saw both seats from katzkin and classic, personally i think the classicsofttrim leathers are slightly nicer than katzkin. but classic does not make the orange seat.

Slexis, what color did you get? You should also post pics when it's done.

Personally, I like the "puffy" look. It makes it seem more luxurious. And I will definitely be going two tone if I decide to go this way!
