    What makes you think it is not the real deal?
    There are several graded or katzkin materials. What did you buy? Pay?

    Katzkin does have a more budget-focused kit that isnt quite as luxurious as their top tier kits; could be what they put in I suppose. :notsure:

    If you made the order through the Katzkin.com 'choose a design' and 'find a retailer' for install walk through then your seats would have been direct order from Katzkin. Call them up and ask, if nothing else for a piece of mind.

    Call us: 7 AM – 4 PM (PST) at 1-888-KATZKIN (528-9546) or fill out the Form to get in touch.

    Looks legit to me.

    Some places just get better prices on certain parts.

    Hell, I once sold a set of rims to my customer for less than my cost. Why? Price match guarantee. They were Forgestar wheels for a viper. Better to have the customers $2200 in my till than my competitors till.

    The kit I ordered was from the seller touchups or touchupsautomotive from Ebay. I brought it to the shop to have installed and I had the same are they real questions and he assured me they are showed me how to tell the difference in vinyl and real leather and how much of the kit I ordered was real leather and how certain parts were vinyl. Hes also a dealer and installer of katskinz.I was happy with the product for sure. I dont have pictures of it being installed no but I have after pictures on my build.. or if you want any pictures that I haven't posted there just let me no

    That looks awesome! Almost makes me want to order a new set of skins with a color similar to the 1794 leather.
    Would make my truck look brand new again!
