Default Leather interior for Scions

I was wondering if all Scion dealerships are offering leather interiors or is it just a select few. Basically my local Scion dealer will have leather upholstered on the seats and the doors for nearly $1400. I can't decide if its worth having in an Xb. Leather would be the only option I would pick, everything else I could do myself for cheaper (thanks eBay). How do you like the fabric seats, would you rather have leather?

I went to my local Scion dealership looking at Xb's and the sales dude told me that for $1395 I can get leather seats and leather on the doors where the cheap fabric is. Also the colors offered are supposedly any color that Toyota offers (I should have asked exactly which colors are available)

Furthermore I can get two-tone or just one color for the same $1395 price. He said I could choose where the colors go, the front seats could be one color and the rear another or the left side could be white and the right side could be grey or it could be standard two-tone on each seat. I saw a new Tc which was already sold with the leather interior. It actually seemed pretty slick.

it's nice leather but imo the katzkin fit kinda poorly. too loose. and i hate the katzkin logo. but you can get them without the logo.

you can get the katzskins for about $700. fits great on our last box.
the down side i think is that the leather is stiffer and not as comfortable on long drive to LA as the stock was. but it look great.
Darren our covers were nice and tight
for the xb the part # is bt066 a, b, or c depending on the style you want.

Dealer installed two-tone leather. About $1,300 and well worth it.

Autoleathers.com is where your dealer's getting the leather from. Get it and install it yourself and save $700.

Heres mine thanks to LONGO TOYOTA!!

Extra 1510. when we purchased and worth every cent since I hate the way the stock interior feels against my skin!!!









I've been quoted 1495. for leather by everyone in town even Toyota, so Im assuming they are being fair. 50. extra for personalization.

I thought about Katzkin but I thought you had to get it with their name all big so I passed! lol

We went with Leather from our dealership and are very happy with it. Did all black, the seats are very comfortable. Of course it took some of the weight out of my back pocket at nearly $1400, but sure is a nice extra!

The leather was already in ours. It was inside as the demo with 9 miles on it.

We went there to get either Camo or White ONLY!!! My husband was absolutely against SILVER! lol yeah right!!!

They had tons of the other two in stock.....we walk inside to make a deal and look at the other two and BAM! Leather...*I WANT THIS ONE*!!! Deal was over and done with!!! GRAY it was!

{And yes according to Toyota MY xB is GRAY not Silver!!!!!} lol

Since the car is under my mom's name, and she did the paper work, she bought me the heated leathers. I actually wanted the original seats, but they surprised me with the leather. I like how it's heated, but I don't like how the car is cold in the morning, or scorching when it's hot. Looks very nice though, and I think my uncle at the dealership hooked us up.

Bah I wanna get leather really bad, just torn between doing it myself or actually paying someone to do it for me. I really like the two tone stuff.

Hmm now leather first or my coilovers first is the question.

Per Max2k's suggestion, I contacted autoleathers.com. The price I was quoted is $679 plus shipping for a basic two tone.
