Default Custom leather seats?

Where do you get these? I'd like red leather, or red/black two-tone.

If/when you buy them, don't attempt to install them yourself unless you are a pro. I have seen that and it looked terrible. Take the Katzkins (or whatever else) to a real pro who can do them justice.

^^agree completely. It is well worth the money to pay someone that knows what they are doing and make these fit as good as OEM.

seats are easy to do, if u do it urself, before u do anything unbolt the seat then u need to unplug the battery before u unplug the wires under the seat, if u dont ur airbag light will come on and stay on, there will be listings or velcro on the seats and the same goes on the kit from katzkin or there off brand DK and u take some hog rings to connect the listings, when doin the headrest u got to depress the foam in or u will prob tear the leather, if u need anymore info pm cause i used to work at charlotte sunroofs doin leather seats

LOL if you tear the leather than its crap leather. turn your new covers inside out, place some thin plastic over your seats. work the new cover down kinda like a condom pull out plastic. stretch/and hogring it. I to have worked w/leather many many years building corporate jets The heat of the summer should take out any lil wrinkles left over.

I suggest Katzkin and having them professionally installed. The good leather kits are not just covers, they are complete upholstery replacements.
