Those look really good! I've been thinking of doing same or similar setup in my F150.

Looks so good! I'm slowly trying to convert my interior over to black and those look amazing!

I'm tempted to replace the leather on the front seats of my truck. Showing wear, etc. after 98000 miles.

Go with the katzkin! Had the dealer install mine before I got it. Much nicer and softer than the Ford leather!

here is a quick shot of my clazzio covers. you can compare it to the cloth on the jump seat. i just got the jump seat cover saturday but it's a tad bit cold outside to install it. i also threw in seat heaters while i was at it.

Best pricing you'll find guaranteed. Pricing as low as $565 shipped for front and rear seat skins. These actually replace doctors cloth skins for an oem fit and finish.

Tons of colors available as well as styles, stitching etc.
How is the heated seats effected by switching to Katzkin, does it limit the heat more than cloth?

For heated seats it should be same as cloth. For cooled seats, then you need special foam and perforations in leather.

I'm interested in the katzkin. Do you have any pictures of black leather with red stitching in an F150? Thinking that'd look nice in my red f150 but dont want it overkill.

I think it would look really good! I sold a few of that setup just recently on here so hopefully someone will post installed pictures.

I don't have any installedpics in F150 yet.

Here are a couple pics with them just laying on top I took a while ago.

Not sure if it's any help but figured I'd post it up.
