The aftermarket ones like Katzkin have a lot of vinyl too unless you pay a lot more for the all leather ones. Plus their leather is thinner. My 05 has 270,000 miles on it and only one tiny tear in the driver side bottom. I’d be willing to bet a Katzkin one would be far worse off.
Im pretty sure i mentioned, and if by some off chance i didnt, i absolutely agree, most newer katzkin kits are similar leather/vinyl as factory unless upgraded. However, on 03-06 tahoes yukons escalades, suburbans etc. I can absolutely guarantee come with more leather content factory. I know, ive done a ton of em. As for katzins leather being thinner, also incorrect, and i will happily post pics and measurements to prove so if you desire. My tahoe has 200k miles, had katzkins since it had 15k miles on it. Has very minor creasing, no other wear... of course, i know how to maintain em. Take care of your stuff, itll last. Im very sorry if you have had a bad experience with an installer or a product, but please dont give uninformed advice, as it can lead to someone wasting money on an inferior product.

I would like to see pics, especially your Tahoe ones that you say have been on since 15k miles. I have thought about using katzkin in the future, as I hear good things. But there is the Seat Shop that also sounds good too.

Added some Fosgate speakers. Made them fit under the factory screen. Fosgste is sending me an emblem to tske place of the Bose ones from the factory. Looks a lot cleaner this way then using the so called pods people buy on my opinion.

Nice . Interesting tho, my speakers are mounted on the door frame itself and not the door panel.
