I am curious about this. Is it just a deal with Katzkins or something like that? Any picture of the Blazer? Guessing it cost a fair penny.

So they wanted to evaluation your family situation and recommend a different vehicle?

No, it's an upholstery shop here in Indy that does a lot of wild custom stuff, and also your basic stuff. I just wanted to upgrade the comfort level with a little more padding and better quality/softer leather. I could of had them really go all out with some different color, stitching, etc.. but this is my DD.

well of course, they are in business to make money. I'm just here to help them stay in business. It was just how they worded it that struck a nerve. When I inquired, I inquired with specifics of what I was looking for. Not a "well, I would like a new vehicle, whatcha got?"

I talked with the dealer a little more yesterday about the leather seats and trying to get more information isn't easy. So I am not sure yet if I will end up with what is standard or not. I told them to hold off until I get more clarification on what is actually happening, should find out more today. Either way, I am happy with my purchase.

They should have my steps in tomorrow or Monday and installed, then I should be good to go. Pics either Mon/Tue, whenever I get to pick it up.

Then a little paint correction, ceramic coating, tinted windows.. blah blah blah.. before I get to really start putting some miles on it.

Looks great. You're going to love this thing. I'm curious on the custom interior upgrades. Since I got mine as a daily driver, one of the few minor complaints I have are the seats.

Definitely nothing super fancy on the interior. And we went back and forth at the dealer and come to an very happy medium on the seats. It will be some custom katzskin covers in Gray/Black. Like this:

Those look great! More cushioning or just the covers?
