thanks, the doors are suede also.

It's is a dark carbon Leather... matches the interior plastic
the suede is black.

If it looks loose, it is either a bad job or a tuck n roll

^ Is that a katskin leather? Do they do the panels or did you do this all yourself? I'm thinking of getting a Black suede with white leather. Do you think this would look good? How much did you pay for the WHOLE package + Install?

Erni3

damn that looks good, how much did that put you back

TeamMightyMiniz

It is Katzkin.

Installation of course, will vary... depending on who does this for you.

I dunno how white leather and black suede would look... might be to garish. I would lighten the black to a lighter color, maybe the dark taupe and go with a warmer/softer light leather. An offwhite or ecru.

Is your tC white?

Personally.. I think white leather is for belts and ladies purses.

About the panels... I think they do it now

TeamMightyMiniz

I think Katzkin has pricing up on their site now

What Company did you use, that leather looks nicer than stock Toyota leather, and reminds me of highend BMW Leather, with your suede inserts, and about how much was your leather with installation. Thanks, nicest looking tC interior so far, very sporty and classy

Damn that's nice! I wanted leather on my tC, but the first few pictures I saw of aftermarket leather didn't look so good. After seeing your interior, I have to get it.

Oooh, the suede is sharp. Debated it, but worried about long term wear. Might have to go for it on my next car if I get aftermarket leather.

Any of you with Katzkin leather have pictures of the backs of the rear seats? The reason I ask is I have a customer that wants black leather installed in her car, but because we have had past bad experience with the backs of the xB Katzkin kits I am a little weary of getting the Katzkin for this tC.

Oh, and does the Katzkin leather kit come with leather for the door pannels and the center consol arm rest?

And ballistic Nylon cloth to boot! I was doing some painting over the weekend, and made the stupid mistake of putting a hand I thought was clean on my driver's seat.

All the paint wiped right off...

TeamMightyMiniz

the Katzkin tC leather looks GREAT all around.
Door Inserts... MAYBE
Armrest... I believe so.

Cost... Privledged info.

The UltraSuede is HIGH Quality Faux Suede.. Real Suede would not hold up to the abuses given to a vehicle seat!

I recommend the Katzkin. It really makes the car look and feel more expensive than it is.

Actually, that reminds me a lot of what higher end Audi offers (like the Audi S4's recaros), which has leather and alcantara leather (similar texture with suede, but much more expensive and more luxurious), sometimes in 2 tone

Audicted

For me, I would like to do the same suede/leather combo, but have a silver suede insert against black with yellow contrast stitching like the ones on the Gallardo and Murcielagos (not piping)




HOT!

I was a man desperate to get leather seats in my old teg... and everytime i hit a show i really closely inspected all the cars with aftermarket leather interiors to find that most did not hold up well with time... but i've always heard good things about katzskins.

I think i'd be really picky about what kind of material and who does the interior of my ride...

Oh and i believe alcantera is a type of suede.

TeamMightyMiniz

yep.

I'm not sponsored by Katzkin but I think their work is A+
At least in my ride

I considered contrasting stitching but find that it would not flow with the future of my tC.

Looks nice tho!

its_ikon

katzkin lets you pic any color stitching you want

Makaveli

is it possible to install the leather yourself? and do you reccommend it?

its_ikon

i know katzkin sells a self install kit for a $100 and it comes with a video about the installation and some of the tools needed

Synrax

So how come everyone is so tight lipped about how much it costs for the leather and installation?

Sure it looks good, but I look at the bill first.
