Installing Katzkin in SI

***NewbTuner*** · 08-25-2008, 04:00 PM

Has anyone ever installed a Katzkin kit? Is it difficult? What will i need to install it if at all possible, if i cant install it whats it going to run me to get it installed.. i hate to pay 2k for the kit (want full tuscany leather) and then pay 500+ to get it installed.

07Rredsi · 08-25-2008, 09:44 PM

katzkin looks clean! Here is a link to a guy on the site who has it.

Katzkin Leather

I think he paid 500 for install

i never heard of it but that looks real good, i like it. are they a direct replacement?

***NewbTuner*** · 08-26-2008, 12:21 PM

yes they directly replace stock.

I'm not a fan of leather, and you would be getting rid of the awesome Si embroidered seats, but if it's what you want then go for it.

***NewbTuner*** · 08-26-2008, 12:32 PM

they will be identicle to stock, same stitching same embroidery just leather. and i have remote start so im not worried about the heat.

I think it's a great value. You can have them done very tastefully and customised to your liking with embroidery and color combos. You can have a stock look or go as crazy as you want.

Rice???....paaalease...not even close...especially if all you're doing is basically changing the black cloth to black leather.

I say....Go for it! Post pics when it's done!

Wow, I must say that from the link, it looks pretty sharp. If one could do that for $500, I would go for it. Newb, do you have an installer that will help you?

***NewbTuner*** · 08-26-2008, 03:08 PM

Bill i hate to say i dont, there is one installer where i live and im sure once he realizes its for my car it will cost me 10k for installation lol.

So im trying to see if i can do it myself, one guy told me aslong as i buy the tools and can take the seats out and have a place to work i should be good.. i have a bedroom thats completely empty and its near 700sq ft so im thinking about going with it, only stopping me is education and getting the tools.

R.Deuce · 08-26-2008, 05:43 PM

gucci seats anyone??

***NewbTuner*** · 08-26-2008, 05:49 PM

lol i want something tastefull.

MFDOOM44 · 08-26-2008, 07:04 PM

i cant find any prices on the site but how much are they running for? and why can't they be installed yourself? because of the airbags? and is that u in your avatar??? do you need a hug???? whats your favorite color???? black???? favorite drink???? blood???? ???? ????

***NewbTuner*** · 08-26-2008, 07:13 PM

^ it depends what all you want.. i want full tuscany leather so it will be a little over 2k but with regular leather mixed with vinyl it will be around 1k.

And they say its hard to work with the leather because its hard to get it all straight/flat or whatever.

AND thats not me lol thats johnny depp, edward scissor hands.

07Rredsi · 08-26-2008, 07:20 PM

The guy who had it done sent me a link to where he purchased his and it came out to be about 560 for the material and he said he paid about 500 for installation I believe. Not bad IMO. There are a lot of options and color combination's you can choose from.

ZakAttack · 08-26-2008, 07:22 PM

It does look pretty nice but keep in mind, the Si is a more sporty car than luxury the stock seats fit it beautifully, leather does not hold you as aswell as cloth anyways.

07Rredsi · 08-26-2008, 07:25 PM

The Si seat fabric is crap

***NewbTuner*** · 08-26-2008, 07:28 PM
