Help with leather seats?
I am about to purchase my new Z, finally . I wanted the Sport package (obviously), but I wanted heated leather seats as well. (female friend prefers to have heated seats too). However, I am not willing to pay the extra money to have the touring package, as I can get just the heated seats much cheaper.
Basically it comes down to two options. They are supposed to cost the same (1,600~1,700). I have heard great things about the Katzkin, but I think I would like to have factory look. Option 1: Katzkin leather, heated seats, vinyl wrapped door panels, installation. Option 2: OEM leather, heated seats, alcantara door panels, installation. |

I don't like Katzkin at all. Never have. How much is the price difference in the touring package? I only ask because the last time I checked the leather seat covers were like 1500+ each from the dealer. If the cost is the same, i would go with option 2.

I would not be getting the touring package..I don't see the need any paying for the pointless "extras". I can buy the OEM (touring) heated leather, and alcantarra door panels for the same price as getting the Katzkin. |

Then i would go that route. The aftermarket leather isn't going to look good. I'd also double check to make sure there aren't any wiring differences for the heated seats.I imagine they're pretty much plug and play.

I did two-tone katzskin leather on my Tacoma a few years ago and love it. Still look great and I saved money and installed them myself. Not a bad route at all

You have far more serious problems than heated seats if you are letting your woman have any sort of input on your Z's configuration. Seriously. You should not even give her the slightest hint or whiff that her approval/input is sought, appropriate or welcome.

I bought some leather seat covers on ebay couple of years ago and the quality is much better than oem cause it was Italian leather. Was 800.00 but well worth it installed it myself. Had to take off the existing cloth for oem fit...almost 3 years old leather still looks new.
