Katskinz Leather in my R53
Some of you may be contemplating replacing your vinyl or cloth interiors with leather. My car originally came with the space grey cloth that has worn well, but I grew tired of. I researched the options and found the solution was to replace the interior fabric with the Katskinz kits. I had mine professionally installed (there are many installer in S. California). I chose the colors (solid charcoal with light grey piping vs. the standard double stitched seams) and ordered the kit on Wednesday and the installer had the kit on Thursday afternoon (yes, 24 hrs later!) and had it installed Friday morning. Install took approx 2.5 hrs. The quality, fit and finish is comparable to the factory leather, but not as nice as the Lounge Leather option in the R56/R55. Additionally, the side airbag functionality is retained which was critical and not offered by most other options. Overall, I am very happy with the results and welcome anyone that would like to see mine before they commit.

Thanks for this. It looks great. Love the piping.

Coach's Auto Restyling in Orange, Ca did the install for $1,300...not inexpensive. I would recommend visiting Katskinz website and contacting their regional rep for an installer reference as I did. Mine went from ordered to installed in 72 hrs.

Looks great! I second the Katzkin kits. I had mine down in the tuscan leather option and I would say that it is better quality than the lounge leather. I have had it in since Feb and it has worn well. I also went with piping. Seems like a natural fit for an English car . (pix in my gallery)
