Default Custom Leather Install

Anyone know of any good shops in the PA, NJ or DE area, who does custom leather installation?!

Please list any recommendations.

Thanks!

I don't know, but I was interested in the same thing! so you better post up finished pics and details!!

as well, would you be interested in attending some Z club meets in the Philly area? we have a nice collection of knowledgeable enthusiasts that have vast resources of technical and product know how. We are always looking for enthusiasts that share our passion to come and hang out and chat cars.

PM if you'd like details.

Well, you should try and buy a seat of seats from a Touring model. There aren't a lot of seats available, but guys do sell them.

or

Even better, get a set of these.

it is not in Philly, but in South Jersey we meet at our shop area, not at Ikea if that is the meet you are referring to. it takes place in the morning/afternoon.

also, JasiJ: how are thier prices? out of five '$' where would they fall?

edit: and it looks great man!

REALLY?!?!? That's not bad at all, I thought it would've cost a lot more. The work looks amazing, Love the Black/ Yellow theme. Maybe this will give ErinFaulk some good ideas

very nice man, I haven't seen your car before. easy question: was it REAL leather or a synthetic? also did I notice the center console is wrapped above the CF HVAC controls or does it stop at that point?

Actually these are the Katskinz seats, Tri-State is an authorized dealer. They ordered another sheet of UY leather to do the shifter boot, knee pads, center door cover, door panels

It is real leather not synthetic. That is a slightly older picture, it is now wrapped all the way up.

The only thing left is to have the Steering wheel sides wrapped in UY leather.

If jersey is closer to you! they will show you all the patterns right there and you pick what you want. It takes about 2-3 weeks for the pieces to come in and then it normally only takes a few hours to install.

Guys were saying the price of Katskinz in Cali was just over 500$, are these guys pretty much the same, or within reason?

Thanks for the info btw. this is great news, cause I love the Katskinz seats only problem was theyre in Cali.

these guys are an authorized Katzkin dealer. We picked out the way I wanted the seats, they placed the order and when it came in, it took about 3 hours to put in, only because I had all those other pieces, if it was just seats, maybe an hour? yeah, as I stated above I got all the work done for under $1000
