Leather seats ?

that cat skin is expensive

 

How hard was the surgery? And did you removed the cloth?

 

No not bad at all, had them for 3 years no issues. It was just that small detail, the Tacoma seats looked more flat like the SR5 seat and those are the TRD seats.



When I got the Clazzios I paid $450 the Tundra Katzkins were $550.

 

All the Katskinz I’ve priced are three times that. Did you install yourself?

 

Yes for the Katzkins I removed the cloth, I wouldn’t say it was difficult, just time consuming. Clazzio were deffinetly a faster install, for the Tacoma it took me about 2.5hr. Katzkin in the Tundra... a lot lot lot more, specially since I didn’t have an extra hand to remove the seats from the truck and had to take my time figuring how to take everything apart.

 

Yes Sir!

 

Did you have to remove the factory covers for the clazzio?

 

Nope

 

Would I need to remove seats to wrap the clazzios?

 

No, no need. I recommend watching the youtube video installs, there are a couple of good tricks that helps installing them.

 

Definitely!!!!.....way EASIER with the seats out !!...IMO

 

Thats true, and thinking about it if its a double cab, the back of the rear seats doesn’t fold down. I would imagine one would have to at least loosen the seats.

 

Anyone put in brown seats? I'm thinking if going with katzkins coffee or mahogany. Tundra is cement with black cloth interior now.

 

Was gonna take my tundra back and trade it for a car with leather interior till I saw this, have a 15 trd off road , can’t stand the cloth seats

 

I can't stand leather seats, they make me feel like an under apreciated chauffeur for the rich elite.

 

Just bought a 2010 and it's my first vehicle with leather. Love it!

 

Honestly I have buyers remorse, so wish I bought the limited with leather, would have made all the difference to me, now I’m trying to trade , I’ve bought seat covers, but just not the same

 

what kind of seat covers are those? It looks like a pretty poor fit, specifically on the seat cushion when compared to some of the other photos in this thread.

 

Look into katzkins

 

They are from pep boys, they fit better than the photo shows, they just cover the seat and back, not full covers, and not 1500 dollar katakinz lol, Looking to trade it for a 2wd double cab limited, I don’t need the huge trd off road crewmax

 

Ebay has a lot of Katzkin dealers with prices starting at $500 for non-embroidered black leather. I think the TRD embroidered covers go for around $800. Just my opinion but, depending on the product, it pays to go with a more reputable and often times more expensive option that will fit better, last longer, or work better. I've got the Katzkins on my purchase list with their added heated seat option. All-in around $950.

 

Good information, ordering that type of product on eBay is worrisome to me, if I go that route I’d order through katskin and have a local trim shop install them, I am by no means an upholstery professional

 

There are a few sellers on Ebay who have their shops listed under the description. I plan to call them to talk about options. There are some local dealers up here in Alaska in Anchorage... unfortunately I called one and they didn't call back and the other wouldn't sell me the covers without doing the install... kind of a shotty deal as I live 4-hours from their shop. Killer deal if you upgrade to Limited trim though. Be sure to post some pics when the day arrives!

 

I went with Katzkins and love them. I did DIY and did a write up here. It’s not terrible but is time consuming. I added seat warmers. eBay usually has a 15% deal every season and that was when I got mine.

 

they are gorgeous, the toyota dealer has a decked out lifted crewmax in thier showroom with the katskinz , I actually think they look better than the OEM leather

 

Interested in selling your covers?

 

Have you guys seen this member offer for katzkin leather. I think he is in AZ so it would be diy unless you are local. He is also on the Tacoma forum.

I bought mine with Katskinz black leather already installed and they look factory. Came from Audis and Mercedes, so I really wanted and love leather. My brother has a Ford F-250 Crewcab and he just installed Katskinz through an independent installer who came to his house. For $800 he not only got the front and rear seats covered, but the center arm rest and the small door insert by the inner handles. He chose black perforated leather with white contrast stitching which looks great. I wish I had this (mine are black stitching) and if I every do it that's what I'll get.
