Some have expressed concern that the light color cloth interior fabrics may get dirty quickly. Well, at 1 month into my ownership program the parchment drivers seat is showing discoloration - already!

I wanted the cloth for comfort over the leather. But with this developement, I would suggest new buyers avoid the cloth.

Exactly why I am leaning towards charcoal leather,

I'll pay for it in the summertime, but it should hold up for a long time.

Hmmmmm.

Yeah lighter colors can be tough for that....

I'd say invest in some seat covers - i have some for mine to match the interior on order. Same guys made me ones for my Escort - 4 1/2 years and 80,000 miles later, took the covers off to sell the car and seats look MINT.

Were you driving the car when the seat bottom got discoloured?

Roger Ramjet

I'm the first owner. I want the first use of everything. I don't even use floor mats. And seat covers are ugly.

Why would I want to spend money on seat covers to save the seats for the next owner?

Roger Ramjet

Cute! .......but after low flying a Z06 for a couple years it wasn't that kind of stain.

The bolsters are looking darker than the rest of the seat. I'm going to see a detailer this afternoon to hear their suggestions.

I think you are the first person I have ever heard say that. I think the leather is much more comfortable.

I'm sure he's talking about the leather being cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Cloth is more comfortable with regards to temperature.

Roger Ramjet

Exactly!

Exactly! [/b][/quote]
Oh okay, gotcha, no cold leather down here. And a good window tint and windshield shade keeps the leather from getting too hot in the summer.

Well the covers this guy makes are custom and SWEET - they'll have the MUSTANG logo there on the seatback and be in the same dark charcoal color.

As I see things right now in my future and with this car the very FIRST redesigned Stang since..... 64?.... I DON'T plan on selling mine any time soon - and am doing it to PRESERVE the quality of the interior of the car. Taking them off to wash them, I can drive around with them OFF for a while if I want.

And even if I DON'T do that, I'll be more than happy when a decade from now, I decide to take them off (I went FOUR years with the ones on my other car and only had one tiny part where the seam began to work loose from me getting in and out of the car and rubbing against that seam - otherwise they were REALLY solid and dependable), I will have pristine factory seats without fading or any accidental coffee stains, etc anywhere to be seen.

I sat in a GT in the dealer's showroom with the light leather interior, and the seats and door sill area were soiled just from people getting in and out of the car. Made me decide on charcoal leather.

My wife has a parchment color leather in her car and that shows dirt all too easily.

Its not the cloth, its the color. Either be religious every week and give your seats a "maintenance" cleaning or get a darker color.

Every color soils, at least you when the light colors are soiled you know its time to clean, with dark colors you just guess when to clean. Although I do perfer the darl charcoal myself.

I would never have cloth seats in any of my cars .

A quick note about Ford's interior colors: Medium Parchment is actually light, not medium, and Light Graphite is really medium, not light.

I always hear people say this. I live in the Bahamas, basically summer 365 days a year. My last three cars had leather and i have no problem with hot seats. When i wear shorts i may get a slight tingle when I first sit down, but it does no skin damage and cools down seconds after contact. No reason to not buy leather.

I have a suggestion..... take a shower.

I'm a fan of leather myself.... usually don't have these problems

good luck with it, brutha. I hope you can get it out w/o too much trouble

bison

It's expensive, with no benefit other than some people like the way it look and/or feels. Or maybe they find it prestigious.

I'd rather spend the $700 on something else, but that's just me. So many things are...

Well what do you expect wearing that outfit in the car
