Great look. Did they add any padding into the seats? Seems alot of us with gripe about how poor the padding is in the seats.. I'm looking to get some padding added to the seats, they are killing me after a long haul...

No padding was added.The fit and quality was excellent.Better than I expected.Love that leather smell.Forgot to mention the color is "Dark Graphite" with "Puddy" insert.

Watch out on the rear seats where they fold down, there is a very sharp plastic edge where the seats meet. When you fold the rear seat down, it scrapes the leather till it tears... I've got to take mine back to the dealer to see if they will fix it.

Did you install them yourself, or did you have someone else do it? Just wondering how difficult the install is.

I had someone else do them when I got the truck, but I heard they are pretty easy

They were $550 shipped and $490 for my local upholstery shop to install.Much nicer than factory seats IMO.

I was looking at someone else's pics, but I can't find a dealer either.

So, they go in place of the factory upholstery, not over, correct?

Please post here or PM me where you ordered them from if possible.. $550 sounds like a great deal for Katzkins!

They look like mine. Ebay $550 shipped. Installed in about 4 hours. The console was a little tricky. Did the console the next day. Had to take the seats out to do them.

I just installed mine last weekend also it was a long process. The back seat took a while. I haven't done my center console yet.
When you guys did the top of the center console did you take the factory cover off? It is stapled underneath.

Wow, I surrrrrrrre do like 'em.

Do they only make them two-toned, or can they be made all one charcoal color?
