Does anyone have any experience with installing a Katzkins kit themselves? I saw someone else had a kit installed but I think they had it done at a shop. Im considering getting a Katzkins kit but was wondering if I sould do it myself and/or how hard it might be to do so. Anyone with any experiences please chime in and help me out! thanks!!

I installed it on my 07 last December. It's not difficult, just time consuming and is murder on your hands. The headrests are the worst but there is a way to make them easier. I had someone do the pockets behind the front seats for me. You have to glue and staple that part which I didn't feel confident with. Started them early morning and they were done by early afternoon. A lot of pushing and pulling to get the foam to fit right. The more you work them, the better they will look.

I actually used to work at katzkin in the marketing dept. When did a lot of installs for magazines and our installer could get the kit done in about 3 hours. If you have not done it before it is a little tricky, however not impossible.
All the leather kits we do for our business is katzkin kits, we have a compnay that installs them also at a resonable price. PM me for info.
Also, a steam machine helps the install and will help the leather/vinyl lay smooth with out to many wrinkles.
I have a katzkin kit on my tahoe, holding up great- I did leather with suede centers.
