Does anyone have any experience with these leather kits? What are your thoughts? Quality of the kits? Who did you buy it through. I've done a few seats of seats in other cars, but this is a new truck and I don't want to screw anything up since it's new. Thanks

I figured it was seats but I thought maybe you were asking for a specific brand/kit/auction or something. I bought a name brand leather kit for my HD off ebay and have been nothing but happy with it.

What brand, and did you purchase it from a "distributor" or just an individual. Do you have any pics to post?

Classic Soft Trim. I got it from a shop that had a bunch of leftovers...most likely people ordered them and never picked them up.

Not the best pics but you get the idea. All the wrinkles were gone within a couple of days of installation.

I don't mind the cost as much, but I just don't want gathered leather. I just want my surfaces to all be tight. Seems the gathers always seem to wear first or something catches on them! Anyone else every pick up a kit?

The truck came with the jump seat and I swapped in the console when I did the leather. I have gotten used to not having the armrests.

Those seats look great for the price...I paid $700 for a similar set a few years ago for a Dodge ram I owned.

I don't know if it was from the same company, but I was very happy with thte quality and fit...they worn well too....I may consider these for myself...thanks
