I recently purchased a Katzkin branded leather upholstery kit to install into my Prius. The leather upholstery in this kit replaces the original cloth upholstery, so the cloth upholstery must be removed.
In this threa is a video walkaround by one user, showing the final results after he had the Katzkin kit installed: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010...rior-video.html
The kit I ordered was a dark grey shade called "lapis." Although the color was not my first choice, I cannot complain since I only paid $450 from a blowout sale. The normal price would have been $900. I expect to be impressed with the material quality since various people have said that this kit uses soft uncoated leather on all seating surfaces, which cannot be said about the factory leather.
In order to keep this project inexpensive, I plan to do the installation myself. Can anyone offer any tips on installing this type of kit? I have been watching the youtube videos and plan to knock on xs650's door if I really get stuck.
Thanks!
