Default My Two Tone Leather seats from atd1.com

recently got some orange/black leather seats from atd1.com. They are CST, and match the Nissan burnt orange perfectly. The seats were only 500$, and me and a buddy installed them in about 5 hours, it was reasonably easy, just time consuming. I highly recommend buying aftermarket leather from James at atd1.com, they have Katzkin and CST, tons of colors to choose from, and James is a great guy to deal with.

wow looking at this pic i realize that i need to go back and restretch the leather on the drivers side butt part, its kinda puffy lookin. Thats not poor quality btw, thats my poor installation job, but an easy fix to just take the seat out quick and pull the leather down.....will repost this pic when i fix that

pretty minimal....socket wrench to get the seats out, get some of the bolts holding the seats together off..etc. To get the hog rings off the seats (the little clips that hold the fabric on) i used wire cutters to snip them, then just pulled them off. To get the seats on, we had this special tool to clamp the hog rings back down through the leather onto the bottom of the seats, it looks like a set off pliers but not....then more socket wrench work...that was about it. Its really easy as long as you remember how you took the seat apart and how you got the cloth off, so you can put it back together right. Also lots of muscle to stretch the leather so it fits right and isnt puffy...i obviously lack muscle because now that i look at that first pic i really need to have someone restretch the leather on the butt part of the drivers seat......
