Default katzkin vs leatherseats.com

I am in the market to replace the factory leather, and looking at either going with either katzskin or leatherseats.com. The main questions I have is there a quality difference? Is the fitment the same? Pros and cons of both?



Thanks in advance..

From what i understand, the katzskin kits are mostly if not completely all leather, where as the leatherseats.com are same as factory (leather seating surfaces with vinyl side and seat backs. The leather from either place is a big step up from the factory leather.

I will say for what i am looking for (leather bolsters, suede centers) katz is $250 more for just the kit (where they used to be close to the same price). I am leaning towards the leatherseats.com. If you go to their web site they have a pretty good page just for the 350Z under their gallery section.

I would be interested in seeing what other people say as well. I am in a similar boat as you. I want to replace my tattered cloth.

Another question. I am going for a two tone, and havent decided on exact color I want. One of the colors is black of course, second color is most likely red. The question is, which red leatherseats.com offers matches the factory REDLINE color the best?? Dont want to be disappointed by the color choice I make.

has anyone had any experience with the synthetic suede used in seats. Katzkin offers this stuff and I have always liked the looks of it...

Yeah, Im in the same boat. I was thinking about switching my interior with a two - tone. How hard are these covers to install? Ive heard they are easy but I have also heard they are a nightmare. Anyone with experience know?
