Leather Interior

clyne007 · Aug 5, 2002

I know its my first post, but I've been at this site for awhile because its such a great resourch. Most of you guys do a great job to your cars and one day I hope that I can post pics that can amaze people too.

I have a white ZX3 with gray int. and was thinking about adding leather to it. Maybe straight gray seat and maybe a mix with gray and another color. But I wasn't really up for going with racing seats yet. I've been wondering for awhile how many people have actually tried to put leather interior into a focus. If so how hard was it and how much did it cost?

welcome to focaljet. do you want to put the leather in yourself or take it to a shop?

clyne007 · Aug 5, 2002

definatly a shop

Oh ok. I've looked around to see how much it would be to install leather on a focus. The avg I heard was about 1200. It's not that heard. A lot of people have done it. Have you thought about finding a wrecked focus with low miles and leather interior? Might be cheaper.

I think since his post number is apporching 5000...Ya, he probably does know it all. Come on, give the man some credit, At least he's posting some useful anwsers instead of just telling people to "Do a Search" like a lot of people around here do!

you've got that right! I hate scrolling through useless information or duplicate answers. It takes up too much of my valuable time.

I've seen the leather seats for Foci on e-bay for $400. You should be able to do the install yourself.

I don't have them, but I've heard good thigns about Katzkin. check www.katzkin.com

you can get your seats upholstered with pretty much any domestic material for under 1 grand. in a white focus...i think gray seats with black centers would be cool

Yeah the grey/black combo was exactly what I was thinking

We had leather put into our sedan when we bought it. I think it's the katzkinz, from what I've seen in pictures. It was done for $700. 2-tone yellow and black in our '01 Street Edition. The backseat tends to pull up at the front though, but easy to put back in place.
Tip: Don't wear new jeans on light colored leather.

Yeah, a lot of people have done it with Leather already !

1200 I think it's a lot of money because here in canada, I got Quotted around 1400 but in can. $ soo.

You can always go with WetOkole that is in neoprane. not the same style.

You should go with an all White interior, that would be good !

!

I want to go with black and white interior cause my car is Black and I think it would look nice.

H&BZX3 - Yes! I know everything!!!

$1200 is way too high so that's why I haven't got leather seats. Don't want them now anyway. Corbeau Carrera's for me!
