Hey guys, I asked this question a couple months back, but got very few answers, so I'm trying again.

I'm going to get aftermarket leather within the next month for my 2003 Maxima SE. There is a Classic Soft Trim installation center near my house that is quoted me at $950 installed for two tone custom embroidered leather. Has anyone worked with Classic Soft Trim before? How is their quality and work? Any pics?
Is $950 installed a fair price?

Also, I have Grey lustre Maxima with grey interior BUT I want black leather BADLY, so I was thinking I would do black leather with grey leather inserts...what do u guys think, would it match well? And which "grey" would be closest to the factory 2003 "grey" interior (there are about 20 shades of grey on the website for Classic Soft Trim)

Sorry for all the questions...Thanks a ton!!

 

I use leatherseats.com

quality stuff

now about the color, black and gray would look fine, no problem

 

FYI: I had my leather installed by a local maxima.org member who specialized in this field for almost 2 years ago. I paid a special discount price of $600 + $200 for both front heated seats. The leather was made by Classic Soft Trim with 2-tones that matched my car interior plastic (dark beige & dark grey). The leather still hold up pretty well thus far.

 

i work at tops & trends in raleigh nc and i install leather and sunroofs and video etc...cst (classic soft trim) is #1 or #2 supplier of aftermarket leather (katzkin is the other) and they do make a good product, the fit on the 5th gen maxs is really good, althought getting the door panels right is a little tricky, just make sure the shop you are going to does quality work, but i think cst is pretty picky about who they supply to. oh and onother problems with those is the map pockets (back of seats) smart guys at nissan maed em out of cardboard so sometimes the clips that hold them in dont stay, they tear out of the holes in the cardboard when you remove them, and one more, sometimes the releases for the rear seat (fold down) doesnt look to good. im not tryin to scare ya, just lettin you know. oh and 950 is pretty good i think, we charge like 995

 

Classic Soft Trim installed leather in my 2011 Maxima on September 14,2011 and it does not have good workmanship. I am currently working with Baker Jackson Nissan North to resolve the issue. Advice, get exactly detailed agreement when you do it. They told me that the new leather install would match exactly the the color of the leather and stitch color. What did I get? Black leather with black stitch and my car is charcoal with red stitch. So now I have two different color leather and stitch. This sucks. So far they are talking to me to resolve. I will update you. Does anyone have information I about experience with this or information in case I take this to small claims?

 

what do you mean by the back seat and cardboard? The rear seat back cushion closest to the door can be moved and not attached and the rear seat bottom can be pull up in the center. Is this a problem?

 

I work in the industry and haven't had many (if any) issues with Classic Soft Trim
