Great now you have me googling Katzkins when I don't need them.

Who did your suede inserts?

 

[fiatdale]

I did them. Super easy. Did the Katzkin also

 

[Ben]

Spray glue and suede ehh?

The suede is different, why pay all that money for leather and then replace it though?

Interior is just as sexy as the exterior......well done inside and out!

Truck has just shy of 150k on it now. Replaced the leather because the original was complete crap at around 130k, all cracked, worn out. Replaced it all around (except for the passenger rear bucket - still has the carseat in it and dont need to **** up the new Katzkin til the carseat comes out). Tuscany does cost a premium more, but it is so worth it. So freaking soft, but you have to take care of it for it to last.

Bingo. Key is not to press too ******* the suede when you cover it and just let it grip on its own, otherwise the glue will come thru then youll have to redo it. Getting that insert panel off is easy. Take the door panel off, use a chisel to knock off the melted plastic tabs holding it on, cover the panel, then use some two part (I use 3M PN:8243) to hold it back to the panel. I like it, its not for everyones taste though.

Looks REALLY a good, Dale! I'll be doing Katzkin on my Burb fairly soon as well
