So I bought the Katzkin leather kit off of ebay recently for 298$ shipped brand new :biggrin: so Im pretty happy about not getting shafted and it actually is the full kit, I just got the package in the mail.
Now the real ordeal is that I need to get the kit installed and since I have no experience in installing leather or what a good price range would be to get it actually installed by a "professional". So I thought I would ask here,
1. If anyone knew of an installer in miami
and
2. What would be a good range for an install (so far i got quoted 485$ and 300$ for a two day install)

Any info would be helpful, thanks again fellas :dblthumb:

(and I know LBC this belongs in the Interior/Exterior threads but Im afraid if I post this there I might not get a response for days and I wanted to hopefully get the kit installed this weekend)

Check the instructions man! Maybe you can do it yourself instead of paying somebody to do it for you. It's always more fun to do things yourself. :bigthumb:
Other than that, I can't help much. I knew a guy who used to own an upholstery shop, but his son ran the business into the ground. :tisk:

i would suggest finding a katzskin installer rather than a regular upholstery shop. leather will only last long if its installed correctly. Most places will charge around 1,000 for the kit + install, since you got yours for under $300, anything below $700 is a good deal for an install.
