Katzkin
I replaced my factory cloth with leather this spring. The manufacture is Katzkin out of CA. Their website is: http://www.katzkin.com/SITE/HTML/index.html you can contact them to find a local distributor. I opted for one of the kits that included front, rears and door panels. They have a great selection of color and nice quality.

well speaking of leather, do any of you guys with the factory toyota leather live in extreme heat ( like excess 100 degrees) have any problems with the leather deteriorating or anything? And will the leather get messeed up and crack or something if its been in the heat for a while, then gets the a/c blasted on it cooling it really quick?

I have Classic Soft Trim leather in mine and temps here are over 110 degress. I've had the leather for a couple of years and no probs so far. Not sure how the factory leather holds up.

I had the local distributor do the install--for fronts, rears and door panels they charged $1,095 installed. I presume about $5-600 for the kit and the rest was labor. My manual transmission shift boot was in bad shape with tears--they fabbed one, matching my interior for $50, whereas the stealership wanted over $95 for stock colors. Lots of choices on colors, and I was free to make any combination...I went with graphite and dark blue.
