Wow....I can't believe this...freaking vinyl. That blows! I knew it felt odd compared to my Dads Murano's Leather...and our couches. This really makes me sad and not as proud of my truck.

ive been told that couch leather is thinner than auto leather...and some other differences...the place i went to not to far from Pennisula Town Center...on todds lane...take hampton hwy (134) to I-64...stay in right lane to Todds Lane and as soon as you get on Todds Lane you'll see the shopping center...turn left...immediately after getting on...and there are a bunch of shops...not your regular shops for buying stuff...theyre next to an auto restoration shop for older vics...they may work together idk...they should have black/orange harley davidson seats out for display...

give me a call withing the next 1hr and you can follow me there...850-218-5877

Go with katskinz, they are real leather and will do any color you want, and I think when I priced them all three seats were going to be about 1500 to 1700 installed...

OH sorry, I was wrong, its 2300 for 3 row interior. but you can pick any color combinations, perforated or non. heated or not. they have tons of combinations.. you can get on their website and build the way you want then find a dealer near you and order them... katzkin.com

Yeah... I'd rather keep my cheap ass seats rather than spend that much on new seats for my truck.

Hey brother. I just saw on Ebay that you can buy full leather replacements for all three rows for $850. That may be a cheaper route and then have inserts sown in those and installed. That would get rid of the vinyl in the back two rows

im not replacing the entire seat on any of these...just changing the inserts...so buying the seats for $850 doesnt help me out...i still would need the inserts put in which will still be same cost...good looking out though...i'm still looking for a good/decent price shop...

It was just the leather not the seats. So you would have all new leather not foam or anything like that.

I run an auto upholstery shop in arizona, and i hate to hurt your feelings but 90% of all vehicles seats that are "leather" are not. they will have a piece here and there. In my honest opinion real leather is what goes bad in cars, and has no place in a car. you have to take care of the seats on a regular basis with leather "feeds". i use this vinyl called extreme leather, its a marine grade vinyl and it looks and feels like high end leather, plus its great in any weather. i couldnt see 3 rows costing more then 1000 and id do inserts in suede, exotic prints, whatever you want. if your interested send me your covers and a deposit to cover materials and ill stitch the covers for you and installing them isnt that bad with the right help.

i dont know of an online store to show pics of materials but i can take pics of what i am thinking and send them to you for approval. from seats would be about 400 for both and the 2nd row would be 250 depending what you want done. i am a big fan of leather with suede inserts but thats just me. also if you want panels wrapped you can ship them to me and ill hook it up. im wrapping every door panel in my expo in black suede(good shit thats 36 bucks a yard lol) and doing the seats the same. and i might do a leopard headliner thats got 3d designs just to make it pop. hit me up 480-252-5619 call or text me. names mike
