    I have a 2023 SR5P and I really love it. I want to put real leather on the seats but not Katzkin seat cover or other cheap solution. Did anyone do this upgrade and have some photos? I don’t go off roading, my kids are civilized therefore I don’t want fake leather in my vehicle.

    I replaced my cloth with real leather by Katzin. Purchased their most durable leather since we have labs and a year round swimmer. It wasn’t cheap.

    I put Katzkin real leather seats in my 2014 4runner. Nice product. I think it ran me $1800 in 2021.

    Katskinz isn’t a seat cover they actually remove and replace your current cloth or softext and install their leather over your foam. Clazzio are the seat covers that just go over your current seat

    Since I don’t spend money on other mods this is my treat. I just wanted to get some ideas of the design and price.

    Yeah I'm sure this was not cheap - looks really good though, nice job.

    My guy almost gave me a heart attack. He charges $1100/seat. I have a 7 seater so this is not happening for sure. He told me that Katzkin is more reasonable but won’t hold up so well after 3-4 years.

    I had my katzkin leather seats since 2021. I had a issue with the drivers seat leather cracking. Katzkin replaced the leather seat under warranty.

    I’ve had Katzkin on 4 vehicles and not only did it never fail, I absolutely loved it. If this damn fake leather wasn’t so durable and easy to maintain I’d spend the money on Katzkin again.
