...well there's your first problem...

Yeah, from what I've heard it's about $1000 to get Katzkin and have it installed. Not too sure about the price of just the covers though...

$700 for the kit carryout, $899 installed. We do 3-5 per week for the local Nissan dealership. Some pics below so you can see how yours will turn out (be sure to have it installed by a shop that actually DOES these kits. They are a different beast than everyday automotive upholstery work and the installer can make or break the install final result!



Here is a Maxima (some befores and afters):



Here is a Murano:



Here is a Rogue:



Here is a Sentra (some befores and afters):

so i can order a kit from you at 700? and pay shipping to canada? cuz the shop here wants 2 grand and their not even willing to install my door panels or my center console box , they only want to do the seats and send me to another place and have me pay more for door panels and center console for 2 grand? really not worth it

Yep, you sure can. As a matter of fact, the owner of one of our Mazda dealerships here has partnership in a wholesale operation up there and we just shipped 7 leather kits directly to them. Your S&H costs would run approximately $75 using UPS Air. This was calculated using an address in East York Toronto that we have shipped to in the past. So it could change a little but this should give you a rough estimate. Email me if you want to get something going... [email protected]

Actually, I was just directed to this site by someone local from the dealership we service that was aware of our forum activity elseware. He suggested that we may be of some help here (and of course give local Nissan owners a good shop to come to).

So, we do not advertise the leather for sale as kits alone (we do not sell on eBay or any other online method). We do it as an installed package. But, I figured it seemed as though there were many here who were getting a little "screwed" by their local upholsterors (who are probably not even katzkin or Roadwire authorized dealers/installers). I didn't realize there was so much interest in leather here until I started tripping over a few of these threads. So I figured I would at least offer it up to the Nissan crowd while I was here.

Looks like the Canadians are the ones who get the screws turned to them the worst though when it comes to leather. I'll help out wherever I can.

If you want to see some other work we do, you can hit up our temporary myspace page http://www.myspace.com/mcorautomotive You will see lots of Nissan stuff in there since we have a good following around here for that make. Our major website is being overhauled to meet some new trademark requirements and some other revamping we are going through.
