So for all of you that decided to pay to have your leather installed to your seats how much did you pay? I have OEM leather ready to get put in my super cab and the leather shop here wants to charge 500 clams. Is that price steep?
I am not going to do it myself, so just curious what the non-do it yourself installers paid. Thanks.

 

I installed mine in my reg cab, if I were to pay for yours I would say $300 would be fair.

 

do it your self it is not as hard as it sounds. it just takes a lil time your could get it done in less than five hours

 

They want between $400-500 hundred around here also, will do it myself.

 

Hmmm so 400-500 bills is not out of the norm I guess.

 

When I checked at a local shop to have my leather installed, they told me $450 and that they'd need the truck for a couple of days. I just did it myself. Took about five hours. It's pretty easy, just time consuming.

 

Did you remove the OEM cloth before the intallation of the leather. Where did you buy your the leather? The leather seats in your gallery look really good

 

Yes, you have to take the cloth off the seats before installing the leather. I got mine off of ebay for $300 or $320. It's been a while since I did it.

 

Well I sucked it up and had my leather installed today. Dropped off at 9am and picked it up at 3pm. Very happy and they feel like they are more padded then the cloth ones. Yes I paid 500 bones but screw it I'm happy with the outcome and look
FYI the cloth covers are now up for grabs in the classifieds

 

Post your pics, but keep the cloth...

I am aching to get my hands on a set of FULL leather covers, in two tone.

Too bad you decided to cough out the cash. I would have done that for you for that kind of scratch...

 

Pics posted in my gallery. Why would I want to keep the cloth? If I get get a few dollors back that would be nice. It was nice being able to drop it off,go to work,pick it up,and keep working on my house. Time that I have now is going to gettting my house ready to sell/close and getting packed up and things shipped to El Paso this month (house items and truck . So I have been plenty busy and for me the price was worth the conveniance. As Marty Robbins sang, "out in the west, Texas town of El Paso..."

 

Very nice looling truck. I don't know why but I had visions of the leather looking aftermarket or kind of shabby with seams not linning up or something. If I didn't know it wasn't done in Kansas City I never would have guessed!! Very nice

 

Looks great! They did a superb job!

I actually worked my way through college in an upholstery shop. These types of jobs are the fun, clean, easy jobs. $500 seems a little steep, but if you are happy, that's all that matters (and it appears they did an excellent job). Enjoy, and don't let them get too hot in El Paso!

 

Thanks guys, I am pleased. Got them wiped down and Im glad my windows are tinted and have a sun shield because I remember I had tan leather in my BMW and it was like sitting on hot butter here in the summer. Nice to have a garage at the house also so its not always cookin in there
