You can ask your dealer what shop they use and call them directly for a quote. I estimate they'll say around $1200 give or take. I've seen the tC with the Katzkins marked down to $1200 on more than one occasion so I know they get it done for less through volume.

Katzkin was again used on the local FR-S's in my area, for $3000. I'm almost certain there is less material used than the tC's, so pricing should be identical from the source shop.

Just to be clear, the $3000 was the dealers asking price. You sourcing the work yourself should be the same $1200 that the tC's leather cost.

I had it installed on mine a week after I picked up the car, dealer used a 3rd party installer & took about a day and a half. They're Katskin covers, and match surprisingly well. I paid about $1000/installed (got it added to the cost of the car) for it & couldn't be happier.

Katzkin is a full replacement leather just like you would expect from the factory with the removal of your original cloth. Clazzio on the other hand, are covers that go over your existing cloth.

No problem... Kinda a crappy picture, but this is the only interior pic I have uploaded.

Fistpoint, yes they are Katskin replacement seat cover - as in they replace the cloth cover for leather seat surface.

Can you not just buy the leather/alcantara seats as offered to other Non-US markets and get those imported?

Far, far better option surely?

Also they are heated, I have them in my car.
