Light Color Cloth Interior
#1
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.

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?

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'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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

No reason to not buy leather.

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