My Katzkin Leather Interior..
Finally got around to taking a few pic's of my tC.
For those of you that are interested in upgrading your interior, I highly recommend going with Katzkin Leather. I chose the Premium kit with Tuscany leather. Tuscany is the best they offer, super soft, very similar to what you'd find in a Jaguar or BMW.
The Premium kit includes 100% leather all around (no vinyl anywhere) with map pockets behind the front seats and any two tone combo that strikes your fancy. I went with basic black all around and perforated inserts to help the seats breathe. IMO... less is more.

That is a beautiful job they did. I had mines done too but had some problems with it initially. They had some airbubbles in there so I had to go back to have them fix that which sucked. I got the two tone with perforations in there too. After the bubbles were fixed, it looked great. It really gives the car that upscale feel. So how much did it cost for you?

Thanks for the replies...
Total out of pocket was $1350.00 for the kit and $399.00 for the install. The install was done buy one of Katzkins premier installers. It literally took them 2 hours. I dropped off the car... had breakfast and then picked it up. All in all a really good experience. The premium kit with top leather drove the price up $500 over what the regular kit with standard leather would cost. My guess is that a standard kit w/ install would be around $1000 - $1100...
