| Has anyone had a leather interior kit professionally installed? Who made the kit and what did it cost to buy and install? |

I bought a Camry LE and had the dealer install the leather. They farmed it out, but I am nort sure who they used. I compared the leather to my brother's XLE that had the factory leather, and I have to say that I like the aftermarket job better. The leather is thicker and seems less prone to wrinkling.
Speaking of leather, has anyone noticed their factory leather driver eat wrinkling on the Rigdeline? I am getting the wrinkles after a year and a half.... |

Dave, your wrinkles have NOTHING to do with your leather seats!
I need to get out there and do a real good interior cleaning to see what my seats look like -- the rear seat got scratched/torn in a move and has picked up quite a few dog foot prints in recent weeks. The front driver's seat looks a bit aged, but I think some good leather cleaner and it'll perk right up!
I DO have wrinkles in my seat, Dave! 8) |

I agree that aftermarket leather is usually better than factory. My brother has aftermarket leather in his '00 CR-V (with H logos emroidered into the seatbacks and everything!) and it is awesome. Even now, 6 years later, it still smells like its new in there. It still looks great too.
Both his Pilot and my Ridgeline have factory leather and neither is holding us as well as the aftermarket leather in his CR-V. |
