From Fabric to Leather seats - estimates

[E.jaba]

How much would you pay to remove fabric covers and install leather ones?
These are from an OEM take off, brand new.

Thanks

You can get OEM take offs for $575 from NTO. Of course you would have to do the install yourself or pay an installer. The most I would pay would be $1000 total for leather plus install. I however will be going with the $575 option and installing myself.

I have a OEM take off on its way. Rear seats seem quite easy, just wondering what to do with front seats ...

I wouldn't pay more than about $250 just to have leather covers installed.

I was wondering how much my dealership will ask for... and crazy!!!! $1200 or more in case everything doesn't go perfectly. That's insane...

Yeah I was quoted $3k for a full custom leather interior, or $2k for a leather interior similar to what is in the Premium models. So that quote is insane! Check with a local upholstery shop. Check reviews online for a good one. I'm sure there are shops throughout Chicago that do killer work, and most likely do work for the dealerships anyways.

I met a guy who got a complete custom leather done to his for a $1000. He had it done in LSU colors, but other than that it was beautiful.

in my 2008 I got a set of stock leather seat covers and installed them myself. the rear just Velcro's off if I remember correctly and I had to get some hog ring pliers for the front seats. it wasn't hard and took roughly an hour or two per front seat and the rears took not even an hour for the whole rear. get the stock take offs from NTO and do it yourself. Its super easy and worth the savings. you will also need something to cut off or bend the old hog rings. I had no prior experience beforehand.

I installed leather take offs from Roush on my 2012 with no prior experience. Just a few youtube videos on how to. Took me a couple hours with simple hog rings and pliers, but saved a few hundred bucks of labor.

I believe I used this video

Had sore finger tips for days afterwards

Id either want the redline premium look leather or Deep red leather similar to BMWs. I never see prices on Katzskin or other sites as I would have to call and such so I have no idea what the leather would cost. Anyone know?

My NTO just arrived... But I'm traveling so I won't see them until tomorrow...

I installed the OEM leather seat covers last month. It's not that difficult to do by yourself. See this thread for a great step by step explanation with pictures.

Rear seats done last night, not even two hours... Amazing results!
