KATZKIN Questions!
I have a brochure from Katzkin.
I noticed on their embroideries they display like 20 samples.
Then they SAY they have over a thousand.
But they provide NO clue as where to find them or what they are.
I have also seem some embroideries on the headrest, while some
are just below the headrest. They also mention nothing of this.
I called them and they said all questions must go to
the vendors. I called 2 vendors and they said you have to ask them.
WTF?
Also I was wondering.
There is an option for getting perforated leather on the inserts.
I was wondering if this was a recommended option to have or not.
(Is perforated harder to keep clean? Is it better for the leather on breathing?
Goods? Bads?)
And.. finally,
How well does this leather hold up?
How well does the color hold up in them? I don't want the damn **** doing what my OEM ones did
and bleed when I wash them.
I am going to get a black and red combo instead of just red which is in my car now.
Speaking of that... lets take a vote.. should I get the Black with red insert,
or black with red combo insert? The red insert is what the GT500 has.
The Combo one kinda makes me nervous because that very bottom part was the part
where my red was messed up the most.

Quality is very high. Different grades are optional along with patterns and perf and stitching. Have airbag car options. They are just leather covers but can get optional items like seat heaters and massagers. No cushions. I highly recommend them
