Default New leather interior help..Katskiin? Roadwire?

I am wanting to install leather seats in my 2000 reg cab Silverado and my current interior is dark graphite gray and my truck is Black... so I have 2 questions

#1. I want to go with black leather seats but not sure how the Black seats will look with everything else being graphite....thought of maybe doing Gray stitching with black leather...... anyone have pics of this color combo?

#2 Katskin or Roadwire ? and did you do your own install or have it done by an installer?

I did do the install. Not really hard. The first one goes slow but the second goes quick

I have katskinzs and they are worn out and ready for replacement in 5 years. I'm going a diffrent route this time so I'm paying attention. Are those real leather or pleather? I ask bc I'm tired of fake leather it wears out way to fast and looks crappy after a good cleaning.

I think its charcoal. They will send you samples to your home to compare. I recommend this
