What have you done to your K2 today?

Haha ok ok!

It requires cutting of the shutters so the brackets can clear. Honestly nothing more than a basic 1/8” aluminum L bracket using existing factory hardware (top left & right bolts) that hold the shutter system in place.

Bent the brackets to length, shaved outer plastic frame of shutter system to fit the brackets. Be 100% the louvers will clear the light bar or a CEL will come on.

I paid a buddy to do this- it wasn’t pretty doing it, but the end result was worth it.

Will try for close up pics later.

Finally installed my catch can.

Finished installing the katzkin leather. Started raining so I'll put the back seats in later this week. Took me about 12 hours between 3 days. Glad it's over lol. Not hard to do, just time consuming.

This looks great. Completely transforms the interior. Every time I see the katzkin covers installed they always look loose and wrinkled, especially by the upright bolsters that are between your shoulder and elbow. Do those wrinkles eventually go away or that's just something you gotta deal with?

They go away with heat. A guy at my work installed some last month and they tightend up. I live in Florida so it shouldn't take to long. I could have steamed them but was to tired to do it.

That's good to know. I'm in Florida as well. Every time I've seen katzkin done at the dealer it's always a few minutes after it's been done, so I guess sitting a few days in the sun would help.
