Leather Seat Opinions
I'm going to be getting the Katskin leather seats for my BCP XB and i'm kind of at a loss for what color to get, i'm leaning towards either black leather w/ dark blue suede insert, or black leather w/ grey suede insert. Anyone have any other suggestions on colors that might look good? or pictures? Lets hear you opinions

I got the BOP with black/suede inserts. You should do that with the stiching to match your BCP exterior.

There are plenty of colors that will go with the color of plastic in teh xB's, so dont limit yourself...
just an idea..

I wouldn't go with the suede. It seems like it'd get messed up too easily, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting durable leather seats.
As for color options, I'd get white with gray perforated.

Katzkin suede is fine, of the sets I've installed, no one's come back to complain about keeping them clean - and on mine - black suede on on black leather - with a sloppy drink spilling egg mcmuffin crumb dropping no foot wiping wife and three dirty shoe standing on my seats kids - I've not had anything I couldn't clean up. In my experience, the suede is fine, it's not as fragile as it's reputation - and it's more comfortable that straight leather
To answer "the Fujiz", I can get the Katzkins, but really cant do any better than you can buy them direct. They install pretty easy. As far as the other stuff, that was just stuff I wanted to try myself and, well, it turned out pretty good. It's not all that hard, its just having the right stuff, and the time and space to do it all. If anyone has and q's about installing the Katzkins, I'll be more than happy to walk you through it.

I agree - I sold/installed Katzkin for a good while, but now only for friends/family and etc. Why? Why should I... the general public can buy them for damn near the same price I can get them at 'Jobber back 20' ! I could buy 50 or so kits a year, spend $25k or so -- and Joe Blow I Just Need One Kit This One Time Only gets the same deal.
Decent qaulity kits (the leather is a little 'grainy' at times) but there is no value in being a dealer for them anymore than you can get them direct.
