Upgraded interior with Katzkin Leather!

[alex_c]

After seeing some of the nice leather interiors others have posted here, I decided that my all-black interior with cloth seats was a little too gloomy and boring, so I thought to upgrade the seats with Katzkin leather and add a splash of color.

At the same time, I added seat heating at the same time.

Now I'm thinking about replacing the soft top with the Tan Twill top... Thoughts?

The seat warmer buttons are right in front of the cup holders, and work great!

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the leather, and love the new look!

Nice upgrades, how much did that set you back (including the seat warmers) if you don't mind me asking?

Around $1,600 installed.

Looks great!

If it were me, I would only put a tan top if it were the *exact* color as the tan inserts on the seats (but I’m picky that way).

+ 4 Katzkin leather!
Get the TAN ST. It is very close to your seats color.

I have this exact Katzkin leather with TAN soft top on GCM JLUR

Thank you! Great to hear you say that since you have the tan top too. I think I will pursue this option.

Love how these turned out. If I have seat heaters on my cloth seats, can I put Katzkins on without messing up my OEM seat heaters? Or do I have to get the Katzkins with seat heaters?

you can put them on without having to get a secondary heating element installed...

it's exactly what I did (e.g. ordered from factory with heated cloth) and then replaced with Katzkin before I even took delivery

That looks fantastic and I love Katzskin. I paid the same for my 12’ JK a few years ago so I think you made out.

Awesome look. Love the two tone. Does the 60/40 folding rear seat get lost? Do they do perforated seats so they cool faster?

No, the 60/40 split is not lost. Not sure what you're asking with your second question. Wranglers don't have cooled seats but, yes, Katzkin offers perforated leather.

Do stock seat warmers work the same when the seat covers are replaced with Katzkin or are they less effective?
