Katzkin Leather or Factory Leather? | Here Is Why Katzkin Wins!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here is my review on why Katzkin leather beats Factory or OEM leather. Katzkin wins by a large margin when compared to leather or cloth seats from any of the non ultra luxury automakers. I installed Katzkin red leather seats in my 2019 Dodge Challenger RT a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Factory/OEM leather tends to be hard and low quality compared to the plush and soft leather that Katzkin provides. Watch the entire video as I break down the benefits of Katzkin, cost and show you why Katzkin is the best factory leather seat replacement.

Here is a much anticipated video based on multiple requests from the community! A lot of you wanted me to go into detail about the quality of Katzkin, cost, value, and whether the asking price is worth it. I break down in this video every single detail about the quality of Katzkin and why I think it is superior to most factory/oem leather seats. Make sure to watch the entire video for a full review and breakdown. Thanks for watching! 💯

Awesome interior! I just received my Katzkin seats today and they are now installing them.
I’ve got a 2021 Sinastick Challenger RT on the way 5/17. Watched your unveiling video last night and ordered my leather interior today from Katskinz and my Car ain’t even here yet! Appreciate the content and your car is 🔥 🔥 🔥

I bought a 2017 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 recently with 22000 miles. Almost a new truck. It had nice cloth seats. I had black katskin leather with white stitching installed to match the white stitching on my factory door panels. I love these new leather seats. High quality. And It increased the value of my truck.

damn dude, where you at? the dessert lol. Yeah i like that intro though yeah regular seat covers do suck. So I just came across this katzkin and it looks like quality. cool. I need it for my mustang.
I have mine ordered but I did a two tone with leather on the outside and suede in the middle so it should be a nice look and got the center console and the doors done also
That’s a very informative video. I just ordered mine, I got solid black with the rumble bee embroidered on the back. That installed is going to cost me $2218. He then told me that if I want the doors and center counsel changed that that was going to cost another $300. Did they they do that to you too? I also live in Vegas and the guy that is going to install it is in Henderson.
Talk all talk! You gave me NOTHIN’

Wow I know what leather I'm getting... But the leather in the ram TRX looks good
American automobile manufacturers have traditionally not been good with interior leather, so it isn't just Dodge and is the way it's always been. Although the interior in my Challenger SRT8 is excellent, and still looks good after 10 years. However, I am familiar with katzkin and is even a step above European leather

I REPLACED ALL MY FACTORY LEATHER IN HELLCATS WITH KATZKIN BECAUSE ITS AN UPGRADE BIG TIME
To anyone that wants an update to these seats …. I purchased the Red color option for my 2019 Accord Sport on June 14th 2022. October I noticed an area of concern. My driver seat had a weird sign of peeling? The seat is stained a darker color which I was told to beware of “Blue Jeans”. I wear blue jeans to work so I guess I would have to place a towel or something to protect the seat. Which I choose not to since I paid $2K and would be ridiculous to drive around with a towel underneath me everyday. So pretty much after only four months I had to return to the place and complain. They took a quick look and took a picture with his cellphone told me to fill out a form for Warranty to see if it was covered. Honestly I really regret making this purchase. I wish I can have my factory seats back. Having to worry what fabric of clothing you wear or if the in and out of the car will shorten the lifespan to only a couple of months is totally not worth it at all. Then I came to find out that it’s not even leather but vinyl???? That explains why they told me to go buy a product for vinyl care? Idk what’s going to happen. But if anyone is interested in trading the stock Black seats for these red Seats I’ll pay for the shipping both ways. I have pictures videos and can even FaceTime or WhatsApp if need to see. Anyone else has had issues with their seats?
