I have used it. They make good products. But the install is harder than they make it out to be. If you have never done it before then you will have your hands full.

My dad just got them in his new Jeep and loves them. I've only seen pictures but they look really nice and they match the exterior color great!

I put a set in a 02 screw back in the summer. 1st time I hade ever tried it. They turned out great. Fit was nice. Took a weekend and my hands were sore for a couple of days from pulling and stretching. I didn't find it too difficult just labor intensive. Like one of the other posters, to me, Katzkin leather feels much better than factory.

I just bought a new XLT and will probably remove the factory cloth and but in katzkin leather.

If i am not mistaken Katzkin is the supplier for the Ford factory leather?

Anyhow, they are good kits we use their product all the time. Very soft and supple. They have an upgraded line called Tuscany but come in limited colors. *IF* it were my truck i would not do the piping but a contrast double stitch instead. If it makes you feel better we use that brand for almost all of our dealership installed leather. Classic Soft Trim (Roadwire) is really good too and i use them on almost all my custom jobs.

I did not see that as an option forthe double stitch but I do know what that looks like. It is a more polished look than the piping. I was looking for that pop factor and thats all they had to offer besides the two tone I picked

Thanks for the tip

I will ask the supplier about the double stitch maybe she can call the company and ask them about that option. I created the seat on Kat Skins web site I dont remember an option for the double stitch I will check it out again

Hey

Thanks alot bro I did find a site that does have the double stitch as an add on. Your color combination really show how much more eleigant the stich is vs the piping. So for now a no brainer double switch Thnaks for the pic's
