Default Custom leather in a Base Coupe






Proving that I have no life, I was checking out E-Bay and saw this base coupe, with in my opinion, a pretty nicely done leather job on the seats. Wonder what something like this runs to have done?

Those look like direct SLK seats.. in which case it would just be a direct swap providing you buy them.

Not SLK seats. The manual SLK seats have a more exaggerated shoulder bolster and the centers are perforated. These look like Katzkins leather covers. Good covers IMHO but pricey. $650 and the price only goes up from there. You can buy a nice set of power leather seats on eBay for the same price or cheaper.

This is true, Katskin has kits for the base as well as the limited/SRT. They are very nice and have many color combos to pick from. When I looked into it, it was $1,200 to do mine.

I can vouch for Katskin's covers, they're quality. I know a ton of guys who used them in show trucks.
