Bumping this thread. Just got the Katskins in the leather face front and vinyl backs. This gets you under $800 shipped. It sounds cheap but the reality is, you'd never notice and the vinyl is on the surfaces that get hit with the most UV or scuffing.
I decided to the install myself as the best quotes I got up in Norcal (SF Bay Area) is in the $600-$850 range.
After chatting with some of the guys in this thread, I decided to give it a try - after all, I've done engine swaps, put in a rear cam in the BRZ and even rebuilt about a dozen Mac laptops.
Got the tools off Amazon for about $30 (pliers and 500 hog rings).
The rears took about 4-5 hours taking my time. I did it in one Friday night and Saturday AM.
I'm tackling the front seats next. Only need there so far is just an e10 Torx socket to unbolt the seats from the frame. Will post update when done too. I went with the all black seats with red stitching.
