i think 95% of the aftermarket leather people on this board have leatherseats.com stuff.. Eric is great to work with and the quaility is better than stock nissan leather..

i think maybe 1 or 2 guys here have katzkin.. and Nismo98 has custom

i've seen them both in person and the leatherseats.com leather blows away the katzkin in quality and looks. also i've met the leatherseats.com guys on a few occasions and people that have dealt with them say their customer service level is excellent

so are they known to not answer their emails? I tried contacting them a while ago about the seat warmers they have to replace mine, but got no answer...I've also heard where their 1-800 number was disconnected or something...

Search is amazing

From a recent post obtained when searching for "leatherseats.com katzkin":

http://www.ucf.ics.uci.edu/~aludeman.../msg00502.html

http://www.ucf.ics.uci.edu/~aludeman.../msg00507.html

Google search for "classicsofttrim.com quality"
http://www.google.com/search?q=class...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Google search for "classicsofttrim.com BMW"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...fttrim.com+BMW


What I learned briefly looking through the links:

classicsofttrim.com = Katzkin


Katzkin has a good reputation with the 3rd generation Maxima guys. It's quality stuff AFAIK.


Search results for "Katzkin" here on the dot orgy to get some impressions on quality:

Useful posts from that search:

Leatherseats.com comments on their quality of leater versus Katzkin / classicsofttrim.com:

Another allusion to classicsofttrim and their use by dealers and who manufactures Katzkin / classicsofttrim covers:

to comment on the 1st 2 links Bill posted...

Did you guys see those group deal quotes?!

1-425.00
2-5-375.00
6-10-350.00
11-15-325.00
16-Over 295.00


?

can't be serious
that is way too cheap.. Supposedly that's per set?

300$ compared to 600$ from leatherseats.com
hmm



EDIT:
Okay, I just emailed classicsofttrim inquiring about a price for front and back 2-tone leather just to compare the prices to leatherseats.com. Also asked about a possible group deal and prices...
lets see if they reply and what they say.
