Katzkin Leather vs OEM Leather

[kevq13]

Had my WOP Civic Hatch Sport beige interior replaced with Katzkin leather. Smooth black with gray/Ash stitching and the carbon inserts. Turned out amazing. They did the seats, door panels (cost extra on hatch since panels are plastic and not cloth like sedans/coupes), door handles and 3-pieces of the center armrest. Extremely happy with the result. =)

Looks very similar to the OEM black leather, but mine isnt perforated which is better for my application. PLus I think the leather is better quality and thicker/cushier haha.

how much did you end up paying in total?

Since it was part of the terms of my purchase I'd have to dig through my paperwork to see how much it was TOTAL.

Basically the dealer paid for some and I paid part of it as well. I'd say since I had to do door inserts and got some 'options' (contrasting stitch and carbon inserts) not just the standard basic package it was something like $1500 between the dealer and I.

i like the non perforated seems less likely to get the baggy look

Anyone know where I can get this done cheaper in socal? someone posted he got it done for 1200$ but called katzkin directly and told me they couldn't go that low so.

Going to be tough to get the official Katzin for 'cheap'. If I recalll the $1200 is just for the materials not including the labor.

I'd try calling the various SoCal authorized distributors and get quotes direct from them. I used https://americansunroof.com/interior.html and they were fantastic the entire way.

I didn't read the thread but I would think other posted that OEM leather is crap.
I would think Katzin has to be better quality.

Looks great! Definitely leaps and bounds better than the terrible OEM cloth. Especially if you have dogs...the OEM cloth is a dog hair magnet.

Didn’t even have my civic hatch sport a month before swapping the cloth for leather. The armrests and middle console looked dusty after a few days and drove me crazy! No regrets! I love the Katzkin. Cost me $1000 with install. Did it the day after 4th of July, shop wasn’t busy the day after the holiday and wanted to make a deal. Picked it up the same evening.

It looks like they offer both perforated and solid?
Their website kinda stinks for picking a design.

anyone know a ballpark price for the console pieces and the arm door rests?

Really happy with my Katzkin too, dealer wanted $1600 but i negotiated it into the lease, sorta free, sorta who knows how they screwed me but it wasn't a line item.
