Katzkin manufactures the leather kits and Autobahn is an installer. Katzkin doesn't do installations, they just make the leather.

I worked at autobahn installing leather for a few months.

Its not that difficult.

Yes its around 500 per kit. and installed for around that as well.

**** Ill install it for 300 - 400

eric, its more than $500, its like $999 for SHO's, eric installed it, it takes about 6-7 hours to install, if you want just the kit its like $600, so eric if you meant $500 for the kit $300-400 for labor, you were sorta kinda right..btw we gotta get down the cape next week..

I have a Katzkin interior in my Grand Prix that I've been very happy with. I hope to do something with the SHO's interior in the near future as well as the factory leather is getting rather tired.

Here is a couple pics from the Grand Prix...

I see you got the Gathered look, looks good to me

I actually made a bid on the kit during the national GP convention (Grand Prix Gathering) a few years back. Actually, had I ordered it from scratch I don't know if I would have picked the gathered look. I'll probably request a sample chart from them soon to choose for the SHO. I must say that I've been very impressed the way the leather wears. You want to talk about poor automotive leather? I think Pontiac's pleather takes the gold home. I was very happy to dispose of the factory seating surfaces as it cracks incredibly fast, and comfort in my opinion was just poor. The material in the SHO is a bit nicer, but I'd have to say they're in poor condition and in need of replacement.

I actually have a question for you Autobahn. Did you have any experience with the Relaxor kits they show on the website? At the time I had my kit installed, Katzkin would not sell directly, only to dealers. I'm still thinking about having them added to both cars, and wondering if you might have a cheaper means of purchasing these than the $250 per unit I was recently quoted at by www.autoleather.com

 

[Chris Benvie]

I'll look into it for you..
