custom leather shops---bently, rolls, and italian stuff. When I spoke to them they said they were mostly into airplanes. They just sell the leather...you will have to have someone cut out the patterns and sew up the covers locally. Once again the customer service was a bit lacking as they could not tell me why there stuff was "the best" But I was unable to get past the receptionist---I didnt really try hard--- anyway if you must have the best, here it is.

Does anyone have any experience with classicsofttrim or katzkin?
I called a shop here in dallas who does both....but I was stunned by the sticker shock of $1200!!!
I was expecting the leatherseats.com price and do it as a lil project...these guys will install it as part of the price.
What I am looking for though is a nice leather feel but less of a pleated look (no offense Zerobanger, I like your seats alot also
)

If I see you at a FD meet someday or if I move back to the south, im kicking your *** for that!
J/k...but really I get alot of comments on my seats. Next to my gunmetal oem wheels, my seats get me the most attention of my appearance mods (nobody notices my c/f shiftknob,
).They come in different styles. If you dont like them pleated, you can get them with tiny holes in them. You can also get suede insderts for $100 more. Also, you can get 2 tone colors, etc.
www.leatherseats.com. been over a year, they hold up great.
PS: I installed my own with no knowlege of seat cover instalation, got quoted $250 per seat!!!.

Zero! you always find the threads! The guy I spoke to wasn't to helpful from Leatherseats. I told him that I wanted a smooth finish and not the pleated look, like the option you had. Then he proceeds to tell me that you must have installed yours incorrectly!
The guy kinda turned me off! I do like the price though...
do you get any wear areas on the leather?

take a look at the seats on leatherseats.com web site

Notice the pleats? I assure you I installed them right. Just get the suede inserts, no pleats

fd3boost,
please post pics when you get them and when you get them installed. I was considering that company as well.
When is your expected ship date?
