So,
In an effort to keep my new car cost down I went with stone cloth. I love the saddle interior. Have that color in my dark gray Volvo and it looks awesome. The bad thing is since everything else is accented in stone color , how ugly would it be putting the saddle leather seats in ?

 

Stone is neutral, albeit light. As long as the bulk of the interior is black (dash, center console, etc.) it'll be fine. My accents are chrome & polished aluminum and the saddle works fine.

 

Do you have the 2011 all Stone interior, or the 2012 black with Stone seats/door panels?

 

It will be a 2014. I was wondering that myself. I have a 2011 v6 with stone leather and the interior rear panels are stone. It looks like the new ones have black rear panels. So, I'm hoping the only thing that would be stone would be the door inserts. (I haven't taken delivery of the car yet)

 

I've never really liked the saddle on charcoal. Cause its really a grey. Tan and grey don't really work for me.
I had a British roadster for years that was saddle but the dash, console, and ragtop was black. That worked fine and loved it.

 

I wouldn't do it...

 

I'd just get the Stone leather takeoffs. Easier to deal with and will still look good!

 

Thought about it. Haven't seen any listed for a convertible. I do love the saddle though. Worse case scenario, I dye the cloth door inserts to black. The only other issue , that I just became aware of, is the headrests are different sizes from 2011 to 2012 model years which will cause me to do some mods to the 2014 headrests. Oh well, still cheaper than getting the premium option from Ford

 

Why not switch to black leather with the tan parchment?

 

I have a Race Red 2014 GT with Medium Stone cloth. (Wish now I had chosen black.) You'll only have stone seats and door panel inserts to deal with. Everything else is black.

 

Here's a shot of my 2014. As you can see, the seats and door panels are stone. Everything else is black, or dark charcoal if you like.

 

Thanks guys for the pics. My 2011 premium has the stone leather and the stone colored door and rear plastic is stone color. Looks like I will be coloring the cloth inserts to black or trying to find used door panels in saddle.

 

I changed my stone to black and haven't regretted it. Even though I could have easily gotten stone leather just as easy.

 

Just wondering how this came out - I'm considering swapping my stone leather seats for saddle, but of course I'd still have the stone door inserts (the rest of the interior is charcoal/black).
