thank you, did not know we had a search feature here.

already browsed those and did not find what i'm looking for.

i'm looking for actual experiences with the fitment of the "katzkin" covers from people who did the install themselves.
keyword "katzkin" NOT "leatherseats.com".

anyone?

Well, since search didn't yield anything, I HIGHLY doubt you will get a response, especially on the 5th gens......

Most here have used leatherseats.com. A few 3rd gen guys have used Katzkin covers, so that may or may not be of use.

Next time, stipulate you have searched this site, what you searched for, and what impressions you got. Then others don't have to waste their time and do that kind of checking.....

I have the katzkin leather kit for my car, but I don't have a 5th gen. I have 4th gen. I can tell you though that from my experience they make a nice product. The fitment was excellent, quality is also excellent, I got the black leather kit for my black 97 SE and I love it. It has a very nice, soft and supple feel, it beats the hell out of the leather that would come from the factory. And I did the install myself, not complicated but alot of work. Hope this helps.

I have it on my 99. It is a quality product that fits very well. I've had it for almost a year now and it is wearing nicely. Spend the extra couple of hundred bucks and get the FULL leather kit, not the kit that has leather only on the seating surfaces and vinyl on the rest (just like the factory kit, ugh).
I maintain it with Lexol about once a month. I believe I paid about $1300 bucks installed for the package (seats + door panels).

Thank you both...

that's what i was looking for...
i guess i am getting a good deal @ $300 + installation...
just wanted to make sure the quality/fitment was good...
because i'm getting it at less than 1/2 the price of leatherseats.com...
a local upholstery place told me about $200 to install so for $500 total i guess i can't go wrong...
