I'm planning to order a two-tone leather interior for my bmw from http://www.classicsofttrim.com/, since leatherseats.com don't have anything for me. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with their products and quality.

 

Yeah, there's one in Houston, costs about $1K for a four seat sports car. I know two guys who have had their leather installed by Classic.
Leather is supposedly good quality, which means it's hard at first, but will become supple with use (like a good pair of cowboy boots).

 

Sounds good. Yeah they quoted me $1500 including installation and $925 without. I already have experience installing leather seats, so I'll save myself $600.

 

I've been considering getting leather from Classic too, but I'd have to get it installed and I can't afford $1500 for leather. It's too hot in Houston anyways. Good luck.

 

I have Classic Soft Trim Seats!

 

How do you like them?

 

didn't the leather come standard?

 

I want two tone interior.

 

I like them, the leather is good quality.

 

Well they look great. How much did you pay with installation?

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:

Just call me the research master.

 

More $$ than sense.



j/k Andy, why not save up that Money for a 540 6-speed?

 

looky at my sig although the vinyl and leather doesn't match the best it could.

 

Wow Bill, you exceeded my expectations. Lots of useful info, thanks man. I guess after being a dot orgy member for 2 years I still haven't learned how to use the search function j/k I use it a lot.

Randy, why would I trade a brand new 330ci for a used 540i? Don't tell me because of 6-spd tranny

blubyu2k2, I like that embroidery on your headrests, looks very cool.

 

You drive a Bimmer, so we have to do what we can to keep the rich here satisfied.

 

Seriously, I just dug around a little with search and found out the Katzkin connection and since it was not ever mentioned on the dot orgy before, I thought I would elaborate some more on the connection through links and stuff.


Makes it easier the next time around when someone asks.



Be sure to post your impressions in the dealership experience forum.

 

Agree, I thought this was a relatively new topic so I asked without doing a lot of research.
I'll definitely post my feedback when everything is all set.

 

Cool.
