Katzskin leather install

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....

Way nicer, looks clean bro.

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.

Hog rings :biggun::biggun:

I want that deal on katzskins. Where did you get them Gare? I'd love a set for my dodge.

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...

So hurry up and get the rears done!!!

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

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

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

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.

You done yet? LOL

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

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