Besides Clazzio does anyone have any recommendations for leather seat skins? I am looking to replace the leathers as oppose to just covering them.

 

Leatherseats.com has some decent replacements. They are DIY if you are handy with hog ring pliers. Some say they go on a little loose but tend to tighten up under the sunshine. Depending on the color of your seats there may not be a direct match so you can either send in a door card to match or you can buy door cards to match the color you have chosen. I believe leather/vinyl combos are sub $700, so not too bad. Obviously the price goes up as you select all leather and step up in leather quaility.

 

I have katzskinz replacement covers. the inner portion is their version on suede and the outer is their premium leather. They are not great, but okay imo. Cost was $700. Their "suede" def. stops you from sliding around in the seat. I installed them myself. Fitment was meh, but im no expert so that might be the factor there.

This was after initial install. The suede has smoothed out since using the seat

 

Those don't look bad. What part turns you off about them? The loose look of the suede?

 

I'm kinda anal about the small details. The center insert portion is not sewn correctly to the main body and you can see the leather behind the suede at the top corners of the suede insert, that is the back portion of the insert. Meaning the suede portion is too small. That is not an install error, that is just shitty QA from katzskinz. The hoop at the headrest is not sewn correctly. it is wayyy too tight so it deforms the foam and just looks crap. I measured inside seam to outside seam from the stock seat to the katzskin, there is a 9mm difference, on a total measurement of 50mm..that is a huge difference. It does loosen up some over time but its still too tight and just not done correctly. I almost sent the covers back because of it. I was pissed.
Besides that, there is just loose threads here and there.

Oh, and they messed up the order two times before I got it correctly. First order didnt have red stitching. The redo had red stitching but they perforated the suede. The third time around they finally got the order right.
Their customer service is pretty piss poor imo. They won't talk with customers, they just refer you to the dealer you placed your order with.

 

I've seen where a couple of folks have got these from Ridies. I have not seen them personally but the install I saw on Facebook looked pretty nice.

Somewhere I saw a vendor that included installation (local) in the price, which was not cheap! Old guy CRS has struck and I can't remember who it was.
