She just posted about this over at TTA.com. Katzkin was slow on the trigger to get out samples to her, but they arrived at Hawk's today and she's sending them out today.

On the plus side...this gives us more time to get everyone in.

Oh, and a tip...if you have the time to spend a few minutes on hold it is always better to call her.

Opinions

OK. I just got my sample kit. My opinon....I think "CAMEL" looks the closest.

What do you guys think?

I picked the Camel color, it was closer than I expected it to be.

I agree. Camel was also the color mentioned by Hawks as the best. I am having them send me a carpet sample as well. I figure it will be easier to do the carpeting with the seats already out.

update

Here's a cut and paste from TTA.com's thread about thise G/P. It is from Jeni Hill at Hawk's 3rd gen.

...
Quote:
Hi all! This afternoon I am sending out original TTA/NOTCHBACK seats( full set) to Katzkin for verification of fit. Please forgive me for the delay, but I do want to make sure in your interest and mine that there is not one glitch in proper fit entirely. This will add a bit of delay and could not be avoided as I had to await an answer from Katzkin that they would install a set of their skins on the seats for me that my order to them on your behalf was contigent upon the fit. So, they agreed to not lose the order and cover the seats for my review of fit, and color. I realize that there was a time limit set by Rich and I to allow ample time for orders. With regards to that, the time will be extended until I have personally inspected the seats after returned to me by Katzkin. Please accept my apology for the further delay, but I do believe that it will be well worth it in the end.
Also, thank you guys for allowing me yet another opportunity to work for you, I appreciate you. Look forward to hearing your feedback

Thanks Jeni
I think it's self explanatory save for the mention of extending the G/P. That will be up to Hawk's ultimately but I would guess that will add a week at least to allow any one else in.

Rich

Here is also a shipping quote to England that someone asked about.
..
Quote:
The shipping to England/UK is as follows:

Express International: 110.00
Priority International: 95.00

This is via US Postal Service, the customer can chose at their additional expense an expedited service

It was this Friday, but because of the above message Hawk's left for us on TTA.com I'd say it'll be pushed forward till at least the 22nd, if not more.

Trust that answers your question?

If not let me know and I'd be happy to call her and get a hard date for cut off.

The seats where not "covers", they where re-leathered. I bought a roll of leather, and the leather shop re-stiched the seats.

Hi all, Jeni here at Hawk's. Just joining in here regarding the GP for the Katzkin. I am waiting on my seats to arrive from Katzkin in California for an inspection here. Just wanted to see if anyone else in the Group was interested. It should be shortly that we can get this closed out. Any of you are welcome to e-mail me at jenihill@hawksthirdgenparts.com for any information. Also, the 4th gen leather seats are available as well if anyone is looking. A big shout out to Rich on this one, thanks so much.


Thanks Jeni

We haven't pinned that down because of the "beta" set of seats that Katzkin has to recover. Jeni is waiting for those to come back so as to be sure everything is correct as far as color,fit,finishing and stitching etc.

I would guess at least 10 days from today.But that's up to Hawk's 3rd gen.
