Aaron is who I talked with got mine for $249.00

 

THAT WAS....

 

Let me guess the back seats right ?

 

I've seen them on ebay as well, though the listings were likely by the sources already mentioned.

 

I don't trust seat covers. Do they ever fit right? And no, I'm talking front and rear seats, thank you..LOL. I want real seats, I think..haha.

 

These are not covers. They are the Ford orignal leather. You just have to remove your factory cloth and replace them with the leather. If you order them from Ford they will cost you over $2,000 but the takeoffs are only $299. I bought them for mine and they fit and look perfect. Here is a link to a thread with pictures. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=61613

 

I have a set waiting to go on my 06. I have already changed the color from the tan to charcoal and now I'm going with the leather!! The fit is perfect!! Takes about 3 hours in your garage.. Piece of cake and I won the covers on Ebay From DMP for $275.00!!!

 

Like everyone else said, newtakeoff.com. If you want some aftermarket/custom looking seat covers look at www.mrt-direct.com.

 

Does anyone have charcoal pics? And are you serious? 3 hours? I read on one forum it took someone like 10 hours? I'm seriously thinking bout this but I don't know if I can do it by myself or need to hire an installer?

 

Passenger seat took me about 4 hours due to I needed an extra hand to get the head rest clips out of the seat. After learning a way to do it solo it only took me about 2 hours for the drivers seat and the rear seat about 20 minutes. If you have a set of hog ring plyers it would be even quicker. I had to use needle nose pliers which probably added an hour to the job.

 

Here is shots of the finished product. I left the trim tan to give the seats a lttile more contrast and had the headrests embroidered.

 

did i miss something? lol

 

Pics....Sorry

 

Nice! I really like the headrests!

 

It really wasn't that hard, the rouble area is the slots for the headrest and that really the toughest part!!!

Thank For the comp!!!

 

It's not really that tough. I'm pretty sure a SMHS alum could probably figure it out! The trick to getting the leather on nice and tight is to just about turn it inside out then "rolling" it onto the seat. I haven't done a stang yet, but I've done a few other cars with great success.

 

You could also find a good upholstry intaller in your area and investigate ordering Katzins.

 

Had to go there Rob! I decided to get takeoffs. Actually got a guy that wants to sell me his black leather gts..woohoo! No, another question, I see the leather options in the '05 was a dark charcoal is that much diff than black. To me, my interior is light graphite (seats/carpet), dash and accessory mounts are all blackish/chrome. Help....what a dumb blonde I am!! haha
