Default Catzkin seat covers?

I am wondering if anyone has had any kind of experience with leather Catzkin seatcovers. I am changing the color of my interior in my Accord and I am getting to the seats now. How is the fitment on these covers and do they hold up very well? I found them on one site for around $600.00. Any help would be great.

I have a friend who boutght a pair for the front seats on his mustang, he got leather ones, they were pretty good. But, I would see how expensive it is to have an upholstery shop do it for you, sometimes its not worth the hassel to do it your self.

I went to a shop today and the lady want 250-350 just ti oinstall them. I think im just gonna pick up the covers for 600 and do them myself. Its not as much of a hassel as painting ALL of my interior parts. I have everything out of my car to do a color change. So I kind of want to do it myself.

i just finished installing a katskinz kit about an hour ago. for the most part they usually fit ok, but alot of times something wont be sewn right, or will be too tight or too loose. although their leather is usually way softer than oem. 350 to install is a good price, if that includes doing the door panel inserts. i wouldnt reccomend diy unless you have an air hog ringer , a leather tuck tool, and a quality contact adhesive (not in a spray can!!!!!) such as keyston bros. and a paint gun to spray it from. and thick glove are nice to have too. good luck.

I dont really think it will be that hard to do. And no 350 does not include the door inserts. So I will tackle this on my own. Thanks
