Interior Modifications

[UTexasBrandon]

New to the forum, just migrated from a 2000 BMW 540i to a 2015 Chevy Silverado, but I live in Texas, so this is normal. I wanted to share some photos of aftermarket leather I had put in today. I got a great deal of good ideas from here so I thought I would contribute.

 

Also, if you have interior modifications, please share. I know there are tons of threads on exterior modifications but not as much on what you folks are doing with the interior!

 

The leather is from Katzkin and the main color is Java. Let me know your thoughts. Also, the price installed was $1,260 for those comparing cost.

Thanks I will try to grab some better photos before sunset, just snapped these on my lunch break.

Looks good, not loose like many others.

Thats literally 1/4 of the price I expected katskinz to be.

 

Think I'm gonna have to do this now.

 

I had katskinz black leather in my '14 and the quality was very good, comparable if not better than stock leather imo.

Ok, so here are the updated pictures. I may change the seat backs to dark brown, that may be a little too much two tone for me. Also, I used Dealer Source here in Austin to perform the install. They did the job in 4 hours I couldn't believe it!

Looks sharp.

~$1250 installed AND only 4 hours?

 

I might have to blow my tax return on this. (if I get one this year..)

Darkfox1, I was surprised, I was quoted $1,760 just 10 minutes away from this place with a leather brand I hadn't heard of, it pays to shop around.

Wow it looks great.. Wouldn't of guessed it wasn't factory.

[darkfox1]

yea I wouldn't even consider this for over $1400 or so.

 

whats the katskinz themselve cost? Any idea?

[UTexasBrandon]

Not sure on the leather cost alone, I will check my invoice tonight to see if it was broken out by line item.

Whats it cost to add heat to front seats I wonder?

You can buy the kit on Ebay for 550.00. Took me 8-9 hours to do full install.

[UTexasBrandon]

I double checked my invoice and they didn't break out labor and materials. I wouldn't have been able to buy mine on ebay since I wanted the contrasting piping, but I did look at that option. If I was going with the full factory option I would have entertained that route considering the savings.
