    All four doors had the armrests replaced with leather.

    Right, but some companies offer leather on the actual doors, not just the armrests.

    Someone else must have some more photos to show us?

    I wonder what mine would look like with blue insert in a two color.

    Classic soft leather has some neat photos of installed leather in an actual vehicle at

    Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost? I checked out the Katzkin site and would certainly love one of those seats. Was wondering just how extravagant an upgrade this would be.

    People have paid anywhere from around $900 to $1500 for the leather and installation.

    Here's some pricing for Katzkin packages. No idea whether it's representative, and I think these prices don't include installation. List $982, dealer price $749. Heat for both seats adds $300, perforation adds ~$60. "Premium Leather" adds $150.

    The Katzkin schematic for the '08 Prius says that charcoal is a "match" color for the grey interior; for the bisque interior Katzkin recommends Beach (despite the fact that they have a leather color named bisque).
