I did the install myself. Most shops I went to wanted 400 and I said FUG that no thanks.

Its really not that bad, you just gotta take your time. The more time you put into it the better its going to look

Katzkin sends you a kit. It will come with all the interior pieces, some spray glue, and some tools. They make the seats. Its like a skin that goes over your stock foam. You uninstall the stock cloth (or leather) and install the katzkin. Its all already cut and sewn etc. The only parts I had to do myself were the door panels and cutting for the arm rests...

Here are some pics:






I got black leather with light slate suede inserts. Also I had the GMC embroidered in the seat. The door panels are black vinal for now but I plan on going with the same color suede I have for the seats there and a few other places

It's really not that bad. For the trucks, it can easily be done by anyone with some time. Check out my signature for Charcoal and Ruby Suede.

One of my favorite parts is the little soft piece that goes into the space on the center console. I rest my arm on there alot so that thing has really earned its keep

Im gonna buy a few just to stock up incase I get this one dirty

You mean the little GMC pad that goes on top of the console cover? I got one with a bowtie and it's already dirty (A few months) . Darn dog and morning coffee. Oh well, they're only 20 bucks or so, but not sure how easy the old one will come off.

Kinda wish I had GMC seats. I love the design of those.

Well, back to working on the truck.
