Upgrading to a leather interior isn’t always about feel, wear, and possibly staying cooler. With Katzkin leather interiors, it’s a visual styling
upgrade as well. Base model or budget vehicles rarely have leather seats but thanks to Katzkin’s excellent customer service and quality
Check out the difference!

installation, it makes for a spectacular interior styling.
I had the good fortune of arranging for a relative to have Katzkin’s top-of-the-line interior installed in a 2010 Subaru Impreza sedan with
heated seats. Be sure to look at the before and after pictures for the dramatic upgrade. Katzkin was absolutely excellent in the
communication and coordination of the process with professional installation by ATD – Auto Trim Design in Tukwila, WA.
Katzkin was founded in 1983 and in 1986 manufactured its first custom leather interior for the Honda Accord. As of 1998, the interiors are
manufactured in Montebello, CA and Malaysia with their partner, DK-Schweizer who is a supplier of leather interiors for Asian and
European automotive manufactures.
Katzkin has an impressive list of relationships such as an official leather supplier for Ford Motor Company and Shelby American, Inc.
They are the only tested and approved leather seat accessory for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram & Fiat vehicles. Additionally, Katzkin is
also the exclusive supplier for Carmax and AutoNation in Florida. They do not offer interior packages for makes that come exclusively
with leather.
MSRP is $1,995 for the factory –style, the next level is Katzkin Design for $2,195 and then “Design Your Own” for even more options.
Keep in mind, this a permanent modification that looks amazing for many years or even decades that you’re aware of the entire time
you’re in the car. A well matched leather interior arguably has the most appeal of any modification, and definitely the most intimate.

Sixth generation Camaro V6 review

Chevrolet updated the chassis of the Camaro for 2016 with the new Alpha platform and by all accounts the approximately 250 to 300lb weight reduction was a huge improvement. Despite having a brilliant chassis and three powerful engine choices, the interior and outward visibility hardly improved at all. I wanted to like this car, I really did. It has some really good aspects but overall it’s only good for going in a straight line, not reverse or backing up out of any parking space, on public roads or modified into a track-only car.  You decide if the interior justifies a $29,000 MSRP. The 2017 model is essentially the same. The 335hp V-6 is a great engine, responsive, sounds good and with the quick shifting 8 speed automatic, the car is capable of mid-high 13 second quarter mile ETs. It feels every bit as quick as the numbers suggest. It has no appreciable dead spots and has an excellent pull. The 8 speed auto is finicky on the highway though, downshifting at the slightest provocatio...

Nissan GT-R Review and Test Drive: Part 1 of 2

Click here for Part 2 of 2: Driving the Beast There were quite a few surprises driving the awesome and controversial Nissan GT-R. Having the opportunity to drive one on a twisty mountain road favored by motorcyclists was a thrill. It’s very “mechanical”, quite large and my impression more of a competitor to the Audi R8 than the Porsche 911 Twin Turbo. Background: This 2010 model has about 2000 miles on it. The MSRP was over $80,000. It features a 6-speed dual clutch paddle-shift rear transaxle. The 3.8 liter twin-turbo V-6 produces 485 hp at 6400rpm and 434 ft. lbs of torque at 3200 rpm. Known for consistent deep 3-second 0-60mph blasts and high 11-second quarter mile times, the biggest controversy was the factory reported Nurburgring time of 7:29, beating far lighter, 600 hp plus cars like the Porsche Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda F. The owner has had some notable cars in the past and is no stranger to track days. Cars like a track prepped Acura NSX, two E46 BMW M3s, and an ’04 Porsche ...

The 59 th annual San Francisco Auto show returned this past Saturday, November 19 th through November 27 th at the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco.

Test drives are offered with thirty vehicles by six different manufacturers including Mercedes and Fiat. Multiple special guests are scheduled throughout the week such as local sports mascots, the Raiderettes, radio and television personality Gary Radnich and more. The Auto Salon which featured modified cars, trendsetters in an eclectic collection. It is in the south hall on the upper level. The signage needs to be increased, but it’s worth a visit. Yes, there were the broken-axle appearing stanced cars and plenty of lowered sedans, but there are some gems as well. Photography is a bit of a challenge due to the cars being too close together, but it’s a...
