Do it!! I've only spent about 300 miles in mine, but I couldn't imagine the experience without them!

I really want the leather but I'm not patient enough to wait an unknown amount of time. They might not even become available on the aftermarket, who knows.

I'm just sick and tired of the crappy stock seats!

Just get them recovered. You could take the cloths off & resell or use them for awhile, till you ready to spend the recovering $ or they start to wear. The cloths look really good and dont get hot/cold like leather.

Yeah that's the plan. I can always have them reupholstered. I've got my friend (a dealer owner) looking into pricing for me right now. If I'm lucky I can snag them for an undisclosed sum.

I'll take some. They look exactly like the BOSS save for the Ford Racing embroidery.

I should have them on Friday. :tup:

Nice! They should be pretty cool. I'm still looking to get the leather ones. This is my only car so its my DD and weekend fun car but also used for business and driving people around so I want to keep the inside nice. Several years down the road when this is just a fun car ill probably take out the rear seats and put in race seats and harnesses, but for now I want to keep it looking stock, just need more supportive seats!

The more I thought about it the more I think the cloth will hold me in place better than the leather. I know the alcantara inserts in my 370Z did a good job of keeping me in place.

Yeah cloth should def be better for that than leather but the biggest difference s/b in the bolstering so leather s/b pretty good too.

Indeed. We'll see how they are.

If the leathers ever come out and I really want them I'll figure out what to do then.

But I might also get the Boss steering wheel and do a rear seat delete so who knows!

Any plans for rear seat delete/cover the rear seats to match?

Rear seat delete... maybe. Not really sure yet.

Recovering... honestly the mis-match doesn't really look that odd at all. I'm not bothered enough to consider that.
