Katzskin leather install

[PTSUPERD]

So yesterday Jason and I swapped out the leather on the front seats. The hog rings made it a total pain in the azz. Took longer than we thought....but they turned out super nice. They feel awesome. We switched the padding fron the passenger seat to driver side, so that is nice too. I think the factory stuff was like 75% vinyl...

Hopefully get the back seat done soon....

Looks real good. I've never liked tan myself, but the all white exterior with that color tan looks nice. What'd they run you if you don't mind me asking? Also how long did the install end up taking you?

I paid 400 shipped for the Katzskins. Brand new in the box. It took us a good 3 hrs to do the front two...

Jason had done them before on his 01 that had velcro on the inside seams. These 05s didn't have that.

A site member who bought them from another site member. lol. I think I'm the 4th owner. They were brand new in the box though...

hog rings are not that bad, did you have the special plyers, if not it can be tough.

They look good man! My buddy has them in his truck and the leather is super soft

 

[PTSUPERD]

We didn't have the special pliers...so ya..it sucked.

Thanks! The feel great. All the wrinkles/ lines that were in them yesterday are gone today. They look nice.

what are the hog rings?

what are the hog rings?

Wire rings that clamp around a rope ran in the seams to keep the leather tight to the foam pad.

 

[PTSUPERD]

Found a guy who is giving me some new hog rings and loaning me a set of the pliers. Think we're gonna knock the back seat out tommorow.

 

[TxFireman1972]

You done yet? LOL

 

[Mdub707]

You got all the front and rear covers for $400??? Dang! Good deal!

 

[TxFireman1972]

You can find deal...just have to look around. I paid less than $400 for mine:
