Default Doing my own Katzkin install

All I want to say first off,,, pay someone else to do it. It is not terrible difficult but it is very intricate and time consuming. I did it myself cause of all of the issues I have been having at my dealer. Every time it gets worked on something else goes wrong as a result of them touching it. It's a long story and one that is finally finished. Anyways here are some pict so far. I have only got the 2 front buckets done and it has been about 4.5 hours since I touched the first bolt.



Before,,, notice I already bought and installed the leather lariat console lid. Definitely the better way to do this. The leather that comes in the kit is a nightmare to fit and get it right.

Watch out for these little pos's. They are very fragile and do a very important job. They take the place of hog rings.

I went with the bisque color with the outlaw black inserts. The bisque is darker than fords beige. It matches the interior hard plastics better.

Don't know if you can see it or not but the outlaw black insert has a pattern instead of just plain black.

Probably going to attempt to do the center seat tonight and do the rear seats tomorrow. I'll get more pics up as I go.

Looks nice, I'm thinking of doing the same but was looking at leatherseats.com, curious if you looked at those for comparison? How is the quality of Katzkin?
