Thanks. It is holding up very well. I bought Meguiars 2 step Leather kit. It's a cleaner and a sealer and I am very impressed. The sealer applies like a coat of wax and makes stains easy to wipe off- which came in handy when my blue jeans dye transferred to my seat. It's a real pain trying to keep shale colored leather clean.

YUKONGK - I am looking to do the same so I appreciate the info and the post. How is all of this holding up? Did you paint your entire upperdash - I really cant tell because the different shading in the pics? I have several spots that need repainting and some are very small scratches so I just want to do this right the first time.

Not to mess the thread up, but tell me about your back up camera and screen? Do you have a link and how do you rate the camera quality - both day and night?

Holding up very well. Only area I have a problem is the drivers seat seating surface, but it's the fault of a worn out cushion and leather panel. Paint is still intact though and better than it was before I refinished it. I need to replace the cushion and panel some day.
Backup cam was purchased on amazon. Pyle makes it and I think the model is PLCM32. I screwed the camera into the plastic trim of the bumper. Quality is great for my needs of backing up (my reverse lights are bright). You might want a camera with better night vision though if you are mostly on dark unlit roads.

I have been pricing the two front seats/armrests + a new driver side cushion. Theseatshop.com is the only Quality place I can find that will do this $850+$32 shipping. Katskins doesnt have 05' Tahoe either so there is no option there.

With all that being said, I am excited to try to what worked for you - worst case, I screw it up. The kit I priced from Leatherworldtech.com was "the sofa kit" and the guy told me that it would do the dash and the seats. I will update with pics once I get it done. Thanks for all the info.
