Looking at new leather

My truck front seats were in "good for it's age" condition. The rear seats are still like new. The front passenger started getting cracks and Lexol didn't seem to do much even though I have been using it regularly. Well the seat finally cracked after a 110degree weekend at Big Shell and I can see foam. I thought about Wet Okole. I am at the beach, the river, and everywhere else. But after having a whole new paint job I think I want a new interior too. I have been looking at Katzkinz, Classic Soft Trim, Marathon (ugly), and Wet Okole. I have decided I want new leather. Anyone gotten covers from them or anyone else? I'd love some info. Thanks

I had a set of Wet Okole seat covers on my 95 4runner a while back they were really nice. No sagging and really firm fit to the seats.

A friend of mine used Classic Soft Trim in his Z and it looked and felt fantastic. Much better than what you could order from the factory.

I think he paid about $900 for two leather covers and the install. He got full leather fronts/backs along with perforations which added to the total.

I looked at CST but it was very expensive. over $1000 for the front seats. Katzkinz was about $900 for the front seats. I want new leather and then I might go with Wet Okole.

Look around. I bought a Classic Soft Trim complete set (front, rear, headrests and door panel inserts), brand new on Ebay a few years ago for $300. I did the install myself. That was a pain but saved $$$.

I know these are a different gen, but, this is where I bought mine and you may want to ask if they have what your looking for:

Or, you can do "pleather":
