Come to find out, the only thing that changed was that the 2007's had a hole on the top of the rear seats for the seatbelt which the 2009's didn't have.

I purchased the 2007's for $200 on eBay. I then went to an auto upholstery place in my area and had them sew in some matching leather to seal the rear seatbelt holes and also had them install the headrest covers while I was there. They charged me $75. So for $275 I now have Katzkin leather seats. I installed them myself where they were pretty easy to install, mostly just time consuming.

I love me Katzkin leather seats. They've been on now for over 6 years. The leather is worn on the driver's side bottom seat from me sliding in and out, where I'll likely just go to a leather upholstery place and have them replace that bottom seat cover. I tried to contact Katzkin but they don't seem to respond to us everyday Joe's looking to purchase replacement sections from their kits.

Here was the only difference between the 2007 and 2009 kits. $275 for leather seats, I'll take it and have been pretty happy.
