Anybody ever upgraded the whip with katzkin or other aftermarket leathers? Worth it? How much did it cost?

>spending money to reupholster shitbox seats
please tell me people don't actually do this
>>
>>29106267
I don't drive a shitbox, you're in the wrong thread
>>
>>29106268
well you clearly don't drive something with nice seats if you're considering something like that
>>
>>29106273
Incorrect. They're nice, but not nice nice. You wouldn't understand upgrading something that isn't full of holes and falling apart

>You wouldn't understand upgrading something that isn't full of holes and falling apart
you're right, I wouldn't understand pissing away money "upgrading" my perfectly fine seats.
>>
>>29106286
>being poor
Of course you wouldn't understand

>They're nice, but not nice nice.
Basically this. If your current seats are in bad condition, katzkin basically makes OEM quality seats that aren't installed in 20 minutes. You'll need a hog ring tool, disassembly and removal of seats from your specific car, maybe a steamer, and generally know how to install seat fabric. If you're looking for some really good luxury stuff, you're going to a custom shop and paying more than $5000 per seat.

>noooooooo you're poor!
evidently not since my car seems to have nicer seats than yours.
>>
>>29106334
Your seats are full of holes and shart stains. Your tires are bald. Your windows aren't tinted. Your brakes sound like a train stopping. Your windshield wipers are 3 years old and leave more streaks than your cloth seats have on them. Your intake air is not cold. Your exhaust remains muffled. Your tires are chinese. Your dash looks like a christmas tree with all the lights on. And that's all if you even own a car, which you don't. And to top it all off, you cope for being a poorfag by saying that if I upgrade my car at all, I'm actually the one driving a shitbox. I'm done with you.

>>29106334
post seats, you wont.

>>29106263
Only covers I ever ran were some Carhartts on a truck. Was ok but I would be wary of any pleather options. Just buy a nicer seat from a higher trim

Had my war-torn vinyl seats re-covered with Newton Commercial cloth covers. £310.74, plus I had a guy fit them for me for £100, so just over £410.74 all in. Worth every penny, extremely comfy and *very* plush feeling. Friendship ended with LEATHER, now CLOTH is my best friend.
>>
I put $300 Amazon seat covers over my mav seats immediately when I bought it. They were a bitch to install and their fitment isn't great, you can get them looking like the pictures and most people won't notice but you'll know where it doesn't fit perfectly after installing. Took me like 3 m hours to get them in properly.

Overall very happy I just did $300 seat covers instead of paying $7000 more for a Lariat
>>
>>29106367
i'll be honest those are nice seats
7.5/10 i dont like the big red stripe and it's a bit worn out in the cheeks area, otherwise p nice
>>
I don't think katzkin is actually leather, but nonetheless I've used them and the quality of fit is fantastic.
>>
>>29106263
That looks chintzy as fuck.
>Leather
That's not leather, that's polyurethane.
>>29106938
Very nice, anon.

Katzkin sells more than 1 material. They have everything from OEM cloth, aftermarket washable, pleather, alligator skin, to real leather. Just depends how much you want to pay for it.

As someone who sold and watched hundreds of katzkin installations, its funny seeing people claim to know what it is.
