Most-Installed Catalog

Katzkin: our daily catalog.

Most of the leather work we do uses Katzkin. We've been an authorized installer for nearly two decades. Their catalog covers most factory matches and many custom variations, with airbag-certified kits engineered for your specific vehicle.

If it's in the Katzkin catalog, we can install it. If it isn't, we'll source it from someone who has it.

The full Katzkin color palette is below — pick the look you want and we'll quote the install for your vehicle. Perforation patterns (diamond, dot, baseball, custom) and accent stitching colors (~40 thread options) vary by kit; we'll walk through what fits your vehicle when you quote.

Katzkin Color Palette

Pick by color and finish.

The Katzkin master palette — every standard color, both two-tone combinations, the seat-wing accent designs, and the contrast-stitching options. Quote includes pattern and perforation choices for your specific vehicle.
