Leather Seat installation in NYC area?

sjj10025 · 09-21-2004, 09:23 AM

Does anyone here have any experience (good or bad) with having leather installed on the Prius' upholstery in or around New York City? Is there a really good place to have it done?

Is there a particular kind of leather that's best?

Also, can the rear seats still fold down completely with leather?

Thanks...

there was a recent thread on here about someone being happy with their katzkin leather seats. i went to their web site (www.katzkin.com) and since i am on long island, 3 sites came up. one is in woodside.

however i cannot vouch for the quality of any of the shops, having never used them. and of course there are other leather seats available, and it has been suggested that a good body and/or upholstery shop can install some of the kits.

apparently katzkin restricts to authorized installation centers which theoretically should mean a good job but practically, the system is only as good as their oversight of who they appoint.
