Replaced cloth seat covers for Leather!
Replaced cloth seat covers for Leather!
I recently replaced the cloth seat covers in my 2005 V6 Mustang and swapped them out for the OEM leather seat covers. I had been wanting to do this for some time now and had been looking at possibly getting a set of katzkin leather seat covers since I had not found OEM leather seat covers in tan. As luck would have it Hatchman had posted a set of good used OEM tan leather seat covers out of his 2005 GT Mustang in the for sale section of the forum. I purchased them and installed them myself a few days after I got them. The installation process was quite simple and self explanatory. The only major pain was the hog rings in both front seats but once removed zip ties worked like a charm to attach the front seat covers to the seat foam. I am very impressed with how well the results of the project turned out and how easy it was to change out the seat covers. I have some before and after shots posted below. Oh and kudos to hatchman for the replacement covers!



















The leather seat covers make world of diffenece in feel and look with a much more upscale perception.
I replaced my cloth seat covers for new take off leather ones from a 2010 Mustang GT that was converted to a Rousch Mustang. Very easy job. I was even able to do this without removing the front seats and deactivating the airbag. I also replaced the hog rings with zipties. Easy stuff to do, just a couple hours time and $295 for the front and rear take off covers and you have minimal investment in something that makes it seem you spent $30,000 + on the car.
