If any of you know of some reasonable upholstery shops that might consider installing these, please shoot me a reply.

Anyone else getting zapped with static electricity every time they get out of the WRX?...that cloth interior is punishing me daily.

I'm sure looking forward to those seat heaters these "brisk" mornings!
Lucky dog!!

I've heard the install is actually pretty easy (at least compared to most other installs, like say, an uppipe...) Did the covers come with the toolkit (hogring pliers, etc)? I've read the instructions (doesn't look that hard), plus there's lots of help on NASIOC, and if you've got the tools, I'd say, do it yourself!

The static is caused by your back and ass rubbing the seat as you get out of the car... you get shocked when you ground againt the door. The solution I use: touch metal on the door as you get out.. no more shock! It's only a big problem here in Reno cuz it's so damn dry!! Leather will fix that however, or so I've heard.

Hey, what color / pattern did you get on the Katskins? Are those the ones sold by www.leatherseats.com?
