Episode Notes

In this episode, Chris shows you how to order and install a custom Katzkin leather interior on a 2004 Honda Pilot SUV. Chris is no stranger to upholstery installs–in fact you can check out our previous episodes on how to install Katzkin leather on a F-150 and a Mustang! So grab your hog rings and a big bucket of popcorn, sit back, and enjoy while Chris does all the work! You’ll learn how to remove the factory upholstery and install a new custom Motorz-branded leather interior, step-by-step!

This episode features our regular segments, Partz, and Letterz. In “Partz”, Chris talks about a complete Craftsman brake tool kit, ceramic headers and a cat-back exhaust kit from Bassani, retro-style window louvers from SilverHorse Racing, and we introduce you to the newest member of our crew, a pit bull named “Chance” who was adopted by the Olhausens through the “It’s The Pits” dog rescue organization. The incredibly handsome Chance appears in this episode, demonstrating the use of the Canine Cover from Covercraft!

As always, be sure to stick around to watch our out-takes at the very end!

Music

This episode features an original Motorz theme song by Jeremy Pritchard.

  5. We’ve got more episodes coming soon, and another one coming before the end of this month. It just takes time, and it’s a lot of work producing a TV show with a limited production crew! Thanks for watching and hanging in there for new episodes!

  13. Thanks for hanging in there! We had two trade shows in October (including SEMA) and now that we’re done with them we can focus on getting the new episodes out!

  17. i do katzkin leather install for a chevy dealership jobs only take 4 hours on car and 6 to 8 on 3rd row suv lot of work but good money

  25. Much improved , I would of gone a little more custom but I guess it’s just a pilot so no big deal, I hear katzkin is the best ? I hope so I’m close to ordering it for my silverado

  28. Don’t wanna put your hard work down but this looks really cheap! I was hoping to see an upgraded version of the seat after installation but the leather looks to fluffy, had many wrinkles and just doesn’t look tightened up enough. It’s far from original manufacturer. And to top this, after the headrest installation (sorry my language), it looked like shit!!! The headrest looked like a heavy weight boxer was practicing punches on it. This is just my opinion, don’t get butt hurt, coz personally for the price that katzkin sells and install I’d rather put some couple hundreds more on top to get a whole new seat.

  30. I looked at a truck today, and seen it had a katzkin tag on the seat. Made me question the truck a lot immediately. I’m wondering what happened to the truck. It has a clean carfax. I’m really curious about it now. It’s a 2010, so I’m wondering if maybe they were torn and decided to go this route before trade. Really curious. Only 28k miles.

  34. Stako, my sentiment exactly! the finished product looks little better than a stretch seat cover. Ugh, lots of work for a piss poor result. Further, I sure hope the funished product that Katzkin actually ships does not have the “motorz” logo or whatever. It looks like an something a ricer would get for fifty bucks at advance auto parts.
