as far as wear and tear, well it is going to happen to every seat in the world regardless if it is leather, cloth, vinyl or sheepskin, that's just a fact of life.

as i said before to each his own, but unless you have had a set of these covers you can't really comment on them. they are not the same as covers you can buy from a local store.
I'm not debating that Clazzios are not really nice seat covers because they are. I've never owned them but I have seen them installed in person. They were definitely in my consideration for this upgrade. They're hella nice....for seat covers. I'm just saying that for $100 more dollars and a little extra labor you could have a legit leather interior that would actually add value to the vehicle. So that's the route I chose. Like you said, to each his own.

That's what I mean. F these guys who want that much. I leave some things to the professionals but when I can save about $1000 doing it myself in less than a day, that gets my attention.
And what are you gonna wait for? This stuff ain't getting any cheaper.
Get the Katzkin kit from Moddiction here on the forum for $565 and put it in yourself. Booyah.

The kits from the dealers if they are the Dealer pak are made by DK and they are most likely from Asia and sent to katzkin. (From what I've heard) or you could get the better quality ones that are made in America.

Default Katskin

I had Katskins on my 16 tacoma and my 17 XLT. Dealer installed mine with a LineX for 1500 extra

Katskin feel better then OEM leather in my opinion. They make really nice stuff. Just do yousefl a favor and dont try to intsall yourself if you are not a patient person or a pro.
