Posted this in the CRD forum, thought I would show it off here too. The only complaint is the carpet on the rear of the rear seats is a little loose fitting, and the price of course :) over $1000 with the liquidcell inserts (didn't really add any comfort, but I couldn't find any reviews online to know if it was worth it or not)
……….
I finally started my Katzkin recover... got two headrests done so far. Here is what it the leather looks like out of the box...

Image

Two weeks later I finished up putting the Katzkin on my seats. Got everything installed without any problems

Here a progress pictures. The grey was from a donor vehicle, it didn't match ANYTHING in the jeep.

Image

The Black is a slate color, the same shad as the steering wheel and trim pieces

Image

The two-tone tan inside is light, but it matches the upper A pillar trim, seats belts, visors and such. Basically three colors in the interior.

I didn't have the Jeep new with leather, so my comparison isn't that accurate, but I sure like the quality better! Has a nice texture, not completely smooth, and of course you can get a few upgrades besides the two-tone, like two-tone stitching and embroidery. I have kids so having leather should actually help with spills too! My cloth was stained (big surprise)
