Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

So I got the leather for the Yukon XL today. The UPS guys know me well here as of late.

Lol.

Leather came in a big box.

I started on the third row first. I plan to do this in pieces anyway so no rush. Installation though not hard .... hard.... will grow some hair on your chest. Bawhahahaha.

I will post some pictures tomorrow.

Looks nice ..... black with red stitching.

These things are a bear to do...... I cut my time in half from yesterday though.

As of now.....I have the 3rd row complete........ Now for a beer.

I will move onto the middle 60/40 bench hopefully tomorrow.

I thing I did not realize is that there are NO HOLES for the Headrests...... Which means cutting into the new leather.

I did not feel to happy doing this as I wished they were at least already perforated.

Leather still has to "settle" some.

The third row 50/50 split seat.

Brian at Absolut said these are the hardest.....

Here my stupid a** starts with these the first........ lol

The seat is not grey, just looks it due to the direct flash, angle, etc......

You can see the red stitching.

I wonder how the quality compares to katzkin. That looks pretty good right there.

Now order a katzkin kit and let us know the difference :D

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

I would say Katskin is slightly better......

But honestly I do not care..... I just wanted leather..... and the stupid cloth GONE.

Looks good Lee! Im not a fan of red but contrast is nice. What color are the rest of the things in your interior? Like carpet, dash, doors, etc.

Looks real nice. I bet it makes a HUGE difference from cloth. It's going to look nice when it's all finished inside.
