Default Leather seat conversion?

Has anyone seen these? eBay Motors: 05-06 Toyota Tundra Access Cab LEATHER SEAT COVERS NEW (item 120198923574 end time Dec-25-07 16:05:00 PST) I am concerned it doesnt say a brand name, but their feedback seems pretty good. I am sure I can get my local custom shop to install them for a reasonable price, but I am just wondering if anyone has experience with this particular site. I want leather!!!!!!!!!!!

sent you a PM cause I couldn't post. The brand is katzkin. They are a local reseller/installer to me and I have been talking to the guy. Seem pretty reliable from talking to them. I am going to get my seats done. They charge $300 for install.

Any idea what the covers cost from the retailer? $299 seems really cheap. Thanks for the reply

I went on their website to look for a local dealer, and sent a request in. They haven't got back to me for three days. Anyone happen to know of a katzkin dealer/installer in the Mass. area?

I bought this item from the same seller 5-6 months ago. Great kit, perfect fit. Color matched exactly.

The box says that it was manufactured by "Bartlett Co" in Indiana, and the original destination was "South East Toyota" . Bartlett could be the OEM.

I did the install myself. Bought the tool (hog ring pliers), took my time.

Thanks. I was thinking about doing it myself, but I have never done anything like this before. Maybe I'll give it a try on the pass. seat and if its a pain I'll bring it somewhere. Did the kit come with any kind of instructions???

Ya he told me they do a lot of port installs for Toyota so I would assume it is OEM.... funny he told me Katzkin though. Either way you can't beat the price. Install doesn't seem hard the OEM cloth just unzips and pop the rings... just tedius. Got any pics of yours?

I've posted some pics in my gallery.

As far as instructions, here are some for a Scion that I followed:
ScionLife View topic - Leather seat kit install Done! Write-up soon to follow.

Here are more instructions from the seller:
ACCESSORIES R US Service 2

Like UrbanCowboy says, it isn't very hard, just tedious. Each seat needs to be removed and completely disassembled, including the fold-down armrest. I did'nt keep track of the time, but probably took around 12 hours total. The Door inserts are a breeze; just remove the door panel, take out the power switches and tweeter, and pop the new one back in. There is no need to glue any fabric.

I added a small bit of additional padding in the headrests to make them extra tight. The seats themselves could probably use more padding too, maybe when I have time.
