Got mine installed and I love it!

The padding is a nice touch and it dresses the interior up great!

 

Which Leather matches the 2013s ?

 

I went with OEM smooth grain/white stitching combo. Looks perfect in my 13 GT!

 

Thats what I am leaning towards, did you post pictures of yours in this thread ? I will look back.. I dont know why my leather looks so shiny, must be the flash.

 

I also went with the OEM smooth grain.

 

Theres 3 options for your year. You dont have the heavy pebble for sure. Its either the med pebble grain or the smooth. The smooth actually has a little grain to it. You can also mix the grains on the part if you want. Shoot me your shipping info and I`ll send you a sample

Hey Ruby Red, thanks, that looks pretty awesome

 

I had AMR install my leather cover. Has anyone found a solution for the console open button. Mine is sticky and requires me pulling up on the console to open. WD40 maybe?

 

Mine did that too. I made sure the leather was nice and tight around button opening and over time it settled in and the button doesn't stick anymore.

 

If its the latch issue, it should break in in that spot. One thing you can do is remove the push button (couple screws on the bottom) and the bottom plate. On the plastic lid, there is a groove on the frt underside of the lid for the latch to recess into. They didnt leave much room for the leather to wrap around that area. And we folded the leather on the frt ends where it wraps around too on those inside corners. We hammer the folded leather to make it thinner right there to help aid with the latch.

You can apply some glue to that groove then wrap the leather around that frt edge, and use your finger to rub the leather into that groove good. Make sure those inside corners are wrapped tight too and not bunched up in the corners. Then re assemble the bottom plate and latch.

If its the sides of the lid binding, that too should break in also, but the leather needs to be as smooth as possible on the sides of the lid. That could also be glued but really it shouldnt need it. The med. pebble is pretty tuff and is going to take a little longer to break in.

 

Figured this is the best place to ask.

What material does ford use on the 2013 Mustangs, is it real leather, pleather, vinyl, or coated? Just looking for some info to know when I am caring for it.

Also is the material on my arm rest the same, or only visually the same

 

Ford uses real automotive grade leather on the top sides of the frt seats. The remainder of the seat, back, bottom apron, headrest, entire rear seat is vinyl. Most all shift boots and the ebrake boots on the 10+ cars are vinyl also. I was surprised to see real leather on a shift boot from what i think was a new Shelby, but it was also a 3 panel boot.

We use the OEM matching leather on the armrests. Any good leather conditioner will work well, I use Maguires Pro in my car on the leather, it smells good too, but I`m sure there are better ones out there. I use Maguires vinyl cleaner and conditioner on the rear seat and the rest of the vinyl and plastic interior, under hood plastics, and my tires too.

Heres what that 3 panel leather Shelby boot looked like. It has a very small plastic cup in the top for a upgraded shifter. We replaced the leather with Alcantara

 

So the perforated leather, and the bolsters on the area you sit are real leather? I am using leatherique and its only for "real animal" leather. Wanted to make sure I will get results.. Now I know not to bother on the backs of the seats... I really didn't notice a difference in the material front to back on these cars

 

Leather quality is very good.
Initial fit is pretty good
Took about 30 minutes total

I am by no means a authority on preserving leather and vinyl.

Thats probably some good stuff. The sun is one of the worst killers of leather. Keeping it treated helps protect it from the uv rays and drying out and cracking. My leather seat covers are from 06 that I installed in 07 that now have around 70,000 miles on them, but only the driv seat has had daily use. Still look good. They have the vinlys down so good you cant hardly tell even touching the stuff. Looking closely, the leather will have flaws, the vinyl is perfect grains. About the only way to tell is to see the backing on the materials. The vinyl has a cloth backing.

You want to protect the vinyl as much as the leather so dont over look that. Sun will kill it too. Youve probably seen old vinyl seats all cracked and spit open.

 

I've had mine on for a month now and it still looks new! I drive my car every day and am by no means 'easy' on things.

Great product!

 

I have noticed on the website that there's a choice between two Alcantra colors (Black and Charcoal). Wich one would match the 2013/14 GT/CS seats ?

 

Ordered mine today, will install w/ shift boot and MGW shifter on the next warmish weekend.

 

The black is a jet black. The charcoal is a little lighter shade. It was the boss steering wheel had charcoal and the GT500 steering wheel had black. Shoot me pm with your shipping info and I`ll send you a sample to match up

 

Would LOVE to get Saddle...just sayin'...

 

Are you sill making these?
