Like the 2007 Shelby, I found could get it done for about $900 front & back
What are your thoughts?

Ford should have done it like that from the start. I know I would have gotten the ICAP if it looked like that. Looks awesome

Not a bad price at all compared to what my friends got charged for their cars. $1600& $1200 for one-tone leather seating.
I love that look alot, if you can get it done you should do it

Would that place do red leather for the speaker surrounds on the Back Seat?

That way the back panels would have the same concept as the front door panels.

Looks great, did they replace the whole cover or just add the outer black parts? Also do you have the side air bags?

Thanks

If Ford would have done this instead of all red I would have been all over it.

That does look nice. I wish Ford had offered that in multiple colors to match our paint...Silver, Blue, Yellow, etc.

That looks great!! Love the color combo! Like the rest, Ford should've thought to do that with the other colors.

Im sure they would, they come here in a mobile unit right to the ford dealer, was told they make the leather seat prior and takes only an hour or two to change out with the old leather, I'll ask what else they can do

Brought up the side air bags because it takes a special cover designed for them, and I agree with previous post would not try to DIY! As long as the covers work with side air bags go for it!

This is what I am doing!!! Except I'm doing white/blue, and the blue middle will go completely top to bottom. White door inserts, and hopefully back "door" panel as well (installer needs to see if that can be removed for wrapping). Going with Katskin pearl/pacific. Also doing armrest and shift boot. Will post pix as soon as done. Even thinking about white suede headliner??? And wrapping top half of interior in white (pillars, etc).

Is it possible to have leather re-dyed? Because I'd love to make my seats look like that by just having someone re-dye the sides black.

I don't think it would turn out very well, or hold up very well to daily wear. Katzkin makes leather seat covers for the 05, and can make them in any color combination you want. I imagine that classic soft trim and they are the two main aftermarket suppliers.

That is one of the best mods I have seen. They should have done that on the original one so that it wasn't so bloody intense. A little red would have gone a long way. Remember the old days when you had choices of colors and weren't stuck with grey/black or tan! You just have to wonder what these car executives are thinking. They want to sell cars but they make them boring. Put some chrome on the outside, some color choices on the inside and some zoom in the motor and they would be suprised at what they could sell. You would think that the children of the 60's would be the ones running the show but some old guys that are too old to remember cars when they really were something to be proud of must be still in charge. (If I can figure this out, why can't they?)....I know what I like and the mustang is the first car to start the trend back.... JMO
