Look at the bright side, less leather the better, makes your car a little more humane.
The only problem now is if you were giving me or another of your vegan friends a ride how would we get into the back seat? How would we get out?

After reading this, I went and checked my back seats. Man thats some realistic looking pleather in the back seats. The grain matches the bolsters in the front. Even when I was applying the leather cleaner/conditioner I had no clue, and I can spot a faux leather jacket from 50 yards.
The real tell tale sign though is the very front of the front seats, how is kinda wrinkles a tad bit and has a more dull finish. But darn it looks and feels pretty good for vinyl. Guess it really IS a retro interior :P

I'm dissappointed, also. But I disagree about rear seat delete. I'm 5'11", 180#. I can sit in back for short trips. Besides, children can sit back there. Save the money, and fold the rear seat!

MMR makes a rear seat delete kit. From the photo on their website it looks cheap. I took the seats out once just to eyball what would need done and I cannot believe how light the rear seat were. I also could make a rear seat delete for a lot less than 150 dollars.

I thought about a delete kit, but if the weight savings is minimal, forget it.

Yeah, I picked up my mustang on Nov 4th and knew before then the back seats were not leather... b/c of reading this site! I understand how someone might be a bit dissappointed if they found out AFTER their purchase... but like others have said, I can't tell the difference anyway.

"It would be very exspensive, for example she said to do all leather on just the front seats would cost around $1000 dollars. "
I don't think it would cost that much for front and rear. Classic Soft Trim is a good leather and cost me only $1395 to do 3 rows on a toyota sequoia.

Check out the bold below! If you want red leather front and rear, add $175, but you have to select IUP. I guess this is after selecting the $695 Sport Bucket seats? I'm confused, are you? It does say red leather front & rear?

Yeah the interior is bit disappionting to me as well....the fake leather vinyl "Pleather" is cheesy and even the leather Ford uses on the front two seating surfaces is not real high grade....my LS had "buttery" leather - it was nice.....and is it just me or with a fully loaded GT Preimum the rear quarter panel insterts should have come with the aberdeen pattern vinyl in the middle area - just like the front doors....that back seat area is really cheap....
But like many of you pointed out - I'm not sitting back there anyways

And Bobby - don't forget - you ordered aftermarket and purchased a small quantity - Ford on the other hand must order trainloads of this stuff and get it much cheaper - then they mark it up (quite a bit for us).

Leather/Pleather....who cares in the end - I've had a rough day and it just plain old feels GOOD to biatch about it!!
hmmmm would that really be "in the end" or "on the end"
All I know is that I WANT A SHELBY COBRA GT500....that'd make my day and I'm gonna have to seriously have to consider trading up
man-o-man 450 HORSEPOWER and I was thinking my GT was feeling fast - the GT 500 would have my g-friend wetting her pants

leather/vinyl - whatever. Having had a full leather M3 interior go to crap after 4 years due to sitting in one seat - all the rest looked brand new, the driver seat like it was a cabbies - I'm all for durable designs. I got the red interior and will double check what's in back just for care's sake - but if it is vinyl, I smell a lawsuit!
As far as vegan friends - isn't that an oxymoron? I mean c'mon, we're driving cars that get 17 MPG, we shold be taking those folks to outback to dine on cows that used to smoke but now have no voiceboxes
