Seats got the Katzkin treatment - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The OEM driver's seat tore after 11 years of use despite my best efforts to maintain it. The passenger side wasn't much better off. The titanium color was no longer available for purchase so, I decided to go with the Katzkin covers. I'm quite impressed with the quality of the leather. Much better than OEM. I decided to do a color change because, honestly, I always wanted the black interior. Upholstery guy did a great job with the install. He even threw in the console cover no charge.

I would like to know as well. Mine are not that bad, but I tried to order a replacement and they are out of stock. So this may be a good option.

Beautiful!!!!!

I've got the same in mine, and it holds up great. Much better than what GM pretends is leather.

The seat covers are leather steating surfaces, the back and sides vinyl. They were ~$1300, custom embroidery was $45. Katskin won't do the SS logo. Installation $650. All together, $2280.

So you just got seat covers? like the seat cover you can buy at AutoZone or did you get your seat reupholster with new covers. I ask because I contacted Katzkin and my cost was under 2k for new seat covers to replace my cloth seats. looks amazing.

Our dealership uses these when a customer buys a non LT or lower trim vehicle but wants leather seats. The quality appears very nice from the ones I've seen done here. Were they able to transfer the heating elements and the passenger presence sensor to the new covers?

Looks great! I installed a set of Katzkin's 9 years ago in my 2011 crew cab Silverado. Paided $490 for the whole set front/rear and spent 2 weekends installing myself. They still look almost brand new. GM wanted over 4 grand for their leather pieces.

Looks really nice!! I did my Katzkins 9 years ago, full interior and it all still looks brand new!! I went on their website and configured what I wanted and colors to match my RJT and black theme, printed it out and took it to my upholstery shop and he ordered it for me. Cost me 1350 installed and out the door!! Full leather to replace my cloth interior.
