Oh man, I feel that I got ripped off! I at least wanted the front of the seats to be leather! Errr!

That is one of the reasons I went for the 2007!

Oh, was it full frontal leather on the 07's?

Maybe, that's what I was thinking of?

The chamois/camel and black combo works nicely and gives a Shelby-like appearance! I went with Vista Blue and a Dove cloth interior because I like how the gray interior looks.

I guess I will be the rebel and disagree with the love fest here.

My first thought when I saw the seats were: "who threw up in the car?"

Sorry... that color combo, especially with the black plastic base is definitely for me.

Flame suit on and ready!

This is news to me! I ordered 2008 GT vert sight unseen (am overseas), and I assumed leather seats meant that the seats were all leather. I was actually going to change the order to Chamois because I thought it looked classy in the pictures I've seen.

How obvious is the vinyl on the seats? How do they compare with other cars with leather seats?

Thanks!

Most cars with "leather" seats, really just have leather seating surfaces. The difference isn't obvious, and you likely wouldn't know if you weren't told.

acmike is right. If I didn't know they weren't leather, I wouldn't notice. The difference isn't really noticeable to me. Don't worry about it.

Yes, they look very nice to me too! The only concern I have is that the drivers side might get a little discoloured later on?

Chamois looks great! It is very rich, warm and inviting while offering an air of classiness some handcrafted exotic cars have always had.

I remember when Chamois was quite popular on Fords in the mid to late 70's. One some Fords, they contrasted it in black trim when Ford started using the Euro Ford influence in some interior decor packages.

The Chamois and Dove Gray contrasted with black are welcome reliefs from the drab cold sterile thifty rental car biege and gray we have been looking at for over 25 years.

When I went looking for a new Mustang, I simply refused to buy one with the run of the mill beige or gray interior. Every one of them I looked at with anything but all black leather or cloth interior I hated. I did come across one GT with chamois and black leather interior and I liked it but it was out of my price range.

Chamois doesn't look that great to me. I've seen it in some foreign cars and it looked awesome but it looks a bit bright for my taste in the Mustang. Maybe two-tone with chamois inserts and black everywhere else but it looks out of place with the rest of the interior to me.

I actually seen it in person on a GT coupe with the same exterior color as yours. I think it really looks good with that red color exterior.
