Hehe, look what came in the mail today ... thanks hun!! I'll be looking to install it later this week. Gawd, the smell is great! Quality is unbelievable ... thanks Lisa at Katzkin, you're the coolest babe I've ever dealt with on the phone (umm, if you don't count that lonely night about 2 years ago ... ahem ... oh)! Seriously, Katzkin has an incredible system for everyone's interior needs. I ordered this on Wednesday of last week, and recieved it today. Absolutely crazy cool :D Visit my site for updates (below) ... later!

Well, I had first wanted the suede centers but it seemed a bit in contrast with my ride. Also, everyone I've shared my thoughts with since wanting to do this from last year has stated that suede seemed kind of old school (old in the sense of grandparents, and I'm 37). I also veered away from the suede because white was not available. I am very pleased with the pearl white I chose as it is dern near a perfect match for my paint. Lastly, suede no matter how it's treated always seems to get stained, faded, matted, etc. too quickly. Anyway, go for what YOU like as it's ultimately the ride YOU must live with :D

Cost was around $730 ... other options you can choose are contrasting stitching and piping as well. They also have some "exotic" fabrics to choose from, from which I had considered the aluminum carbon fiber for the centers ... too trendy for me ... I'm very happy with my decision. I haven't installed it yet; it looks pretty straight forward and I have done interiors before so it shouldn't be a problem.

Very Nice! :) Can't wait to see pics...

Just curious, but do you have to purchase Katzkin products through their website, or are there other companies that offer Katzkin products at a cheaper price?

Very nice looking, they'll look good with the white car. Speaking of, I think you have one of the nicest looking early S14's I've seen.
