I am thinking about getting a Katzins Leather kit for my HHR I will get LT Grey on the outside of the seats and Blue in the center. My ? is have anyone on the board ever change the seat covers on any car before and how hard can it be? Here is were I will buying the covers from. www.ayarinc.com

 

I've never installed a set myself but I have seen a set poorly installed. It left folds in the leather, especially on the headrests.

 

Consider warming the leather so you get a bit of give as you are stretching it onto the frame, if you aren't comfortable doing it find an upholstry shop and they will be able to do it and give you the professional results that you are looking for

 

How much is the kit? My kids are making a mess out of the cloth! It is definitely not as durable as the cloth in my Avalanche.

 

Never seen them installed.

I'd like to look through their website, but man it is annoying1
Just like so many things these days, over produced! ( Their web site that is). I gave up.

Even after turning off thier racing noises if I moved the cursor to some areaS a "blip" sound came out rather loudly. And try looking at their vortex of swirling translucent seats! OY!
Their product may be good, but their site is a turn off- at least for me.
If you get the seat covers, I'd have a local pro shop put them on. They will charge you, but they will do it right. I've seen a lot of bad jobs from folks who DIY to save, only to want to have it done right a second time.
Best of luck and I'm looking forward to seeing pics if you go this way.

 

Here is what the rep told about prices for the HHR.
We have a 60% leather 40% vinyl kit for $649 and a 80% leather 20% vinyl for $849 dlls. we are looking forward to providing you with outstanding quality and costumer service.

 

how much would it cost to order the stock leather seats ? they would be heated too !

 

Couple of my friends has them in their cavaliers. Great looking seats. Little pricey and I would recommend having a professional install them. You have to rip the whole seat apart to install them.
Oh do they feel NICE!

 

Katzkin's are real nice. I've done several re-upholstery jobs over the years and it isn't really that hard, although I've never done the Katzkins covers. A friend of mine did his a couple years ago and the job turned out as good as any professional shop could have done, it still looks awsome to this day. The trick with Katzkins is to not cut corners and take your time, follow the directions to a "T" and you should be fine. That friend of mine who did his has never done anything like this before and he did a great job. Such a nice job I'm considering getting them myself.

 

was this quote for just the front seats or front and back seats?
