Leather or cloth?
#41
In my researching aftermarket leather, most places use vinyl on the edges (two-tone or not). Vinyl will outlast leather, and you can't even tell a difference. That's why I went aftermarket, more leather (in the middle sections) and better quality leather.

I wanted torch red - she did not like it - we got sonic blue
She said - what about blue - I thought windveil is classic looking mustang - she said -- no sonic
I wanted ICAP - she said " looks like early spanish girl of ill reputehouse"
I wanted leather - she said it gets too hot
I wanted GT she said -- YES
WE took possession of our sonic blue GT with dark charcoal cloth interior on 8/2
I LOVE this car and would not change it .

Leather, I didn't like the running ponnies throughout the cloth
, just wasn't my thing so I opted for the premium package with the leather, etc. Light graphite to be exact.

Actually, I have both! I ordered my GT with cloth to keep the costs down and my legs from getting fried here in Florida in the summertime. And that's the way I voted. But the cloth will wear over time so I've hedged my bet.
I got a great deal on eBay on a new take off of the dark charcoal leather and have stashed that away for 3-4 years from now when the cloth gets old and tired. I'll do a quick reupholstery then and try out leather for a change!

For $700, I sure as heck demand real leather. Otherwise what's the point? I can buy vinyl covers that look pretty good for probably less cost.

I personally have always had cloth interiors since 1980, and before that it was vinyl. This is my first car with leather, and I think the seats feel great. That's good enough for me.

I wanted Dark Charcoal Cloth. The Mustang thing does not bother me so much.
I didn't go for leather cause of the Alabama Swamp Heat-My mother has leather, and I don't like peeling myself off it. BUT it turns out having a cave of an interior is as much torture as having leather.

I plan to order leather only because I want the side airbags and you need leather for that option. I do plan to change it to some nicer leather and add a seat heater. I did look at that place katzkin and they have something that they clam heats and cools the seats! Anyone seen that before?

Ahh really...guess I read that wrong thanks! Well are the cloth seats the same as the leather just a different seatcover on it? That would make the price a little less
I have read cloth bucket seats or sport bucket leather...didnt know if that means they are difeferent.
