I really would like to know how Katskin leather and those guys get away with reupholstering seats that have airbags built in. From my understanding, this could be very dangerous! OEM's have to crash test seats in every different type and color of fabric in order to manufacture them, which is expensive; hence why there's only two choices and just one color for the BRZ.
