Hope.....I really like your engine cover. Did you get that done at a body shop??
Plus.....how much did you pay for your leather seat covers??

i did the engine cover myself. took all day, lots of primer, sanding, etc. wanted it to look almost professional. the leather interior i bought from attention to detail. their was a link on MO.com i think for a group buy. i think you can still get the same prices from him though if you let him know you're a member. was $680 total includind shipping (USD). i installed them myself as well. wish i got the heated seat element for the passenger side, but only got the driver's side. oh well....

I saw leather seat covers for sale on ebay for I think $500 USD. They did not have the Matrix logo though in them like yours has the Vibe logo. But did you just get the seats....or did you get the door panels also with the kit??

the ones on ebay are cheaply made. i got those on my tundra. not very good leather imho. the katzkins are much higher quality and last longer. very good kit. and yes, they do include the door covers. i haven't done mine because i don't know how. i'd have to have a pro do it and i don't want to spend the money to be quite honest.

The doors are not that hard to do. Have you ever removed your inner door panels off before?? If so.....that little door panel piece should be just clipped in behind.....and should come off no problem. But don't quote me on it. Well if you say it is cheaper leather...then that is no good now is it?? Gotta keep the backside comfortable! |

the nice thing about the katzkins kits is that you tell them exactly what you want. you can add piping, suede, embroidery (if they have it), heated seat elements, etc!
