Default Anyone intall their own Katzkins?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a set of leathers for my truck, and am seriously considering trying to install them myself. I am fairly handy, but have no experience on anything like this. Anybody out there ever try it?

Thanks, I'm going to talk to a couple of places later this week to see how much it would be to install them, but unless it's a lot cheaper than I expect, I'll probably do it myself. It'll take a lot longer this way, but I like projects.

DO NOT pay someone to do this.


it took me every bit of 45 minutes, from turning the first socket to take out the seat to sitting in them in the truck. easy easy easy easy job. its pretty self explanatory. just take your time, and you shouldnt have to, but if theyre a bit tight, throw them in the dryer for a few minutes to make them more stretchy for putting em on. i didnt do that and mine fit just fine.

Well, I talked to my local Katzkin place today. They wanted $1200 to install a single color set with no options. The best price I can find on the web is $669 shipped. So for $500+ I think I'll give it a go myself.
