Has anyone had any experience with these leather seat covers? I am thinking about ordering them for my altima. I was thinking if anyone else on this forum wants to order them, we could possibly get a group buy.

I've heard a lot of good things abot them over the years. I wasn't aware that they made a product for the Coupe. Would be helpful for those that change their mind about the leather in the future

Yea man, I can't wait. Please post those pics asap. I really wanted the leather seats but couldn't shell out the extra 5k for the premium package.

Yea, that's what I want, well not red, but I want white stitching and maybe some suede inserts.

Whoa! That's way too much red for my blood. I meant just the stitching on the seats and around the steering wheel.

what about going two tone with the silver and black like the interior, think that would look nice, tell me how the leather feels, is it like normal leather seats or like pull over seat covers?

They feel softer, don't they? The nice thing is, two-tone is available to look WAY different.

Leather seat covers was one of the product categories we were looking at during SEMA this year. [We haven't hooked up with anybody yet, so I'm not trying to sell product!]

I've got to say that the Katzkin product line seemed very impressive - really high quality. Its a definite temptation to forego the expensive leather option and do these seats, they do seem to be better quality than factory leather, and if properly installed the fit is great.

I could do without a lot of the items in the premium pkg, or come up with better substitutions (I'd still get the Sport pkg), but it seems you have to order either the Premium or Technology package to get VDC, which (for me) is a required safety feature.

mine has VDC and doesn't have the premium or tech package, it might be different with the 6mt though.

if you ask katzkin they will recommend certified katzkin installers that you can call up. The places wanted 1300ish but I talked them down to 1000 installed.
