Leather Seat Kits

[TheViking]

Not right now but I don't see why it would be any more effort. If necessary I can send them my existing early style covers which have the piping so they can reproduce them properly.

Do they make a version with piping for the 84 crowd????

I was wondering the same thing but it doesnt really matter to me since I am not trying to go original on my 84, just want some nice seats again lol

When I talked to them they said they would be make the 84 style with the correct piping but they just need to see the old ones in order reproduce it correctly.

The covers arrived as promised today.

The good:
The quality is excellent, I don't think you could find much better.
Leather (pleather?) is thicker then the original and looks like it will hold up better as well.
The color looks nice and should work with the interior

The bad:
The material is a little different in color and has less shine then the originals.
The perferations are dots, not diamonds, and are spaced further apart.

Overall, I'm very happy with the results and the company was very pleasant to deal with. The dotted perferations were expected. I spent some time at a local interior shop and he was not able to come up with the proper diamond perferated replacement material. I don't recall how the E&G kit perf's looked.

Here a some pictures of the repo covers vs NOS.

impo the pattern on the new is not as defined as the e&g. that being said however if i needed new leather for my svo i would certainly use this.

Looks very good. Personally, I've always prefered a more matte or satin finish on leather seats than the more glossy ones. Hopefully they won't decide to stop making them right around the next time I get around to recovering my seats like E&G did!!

[onthegosvo]

I think they look very good.They appear to be closer to leather than the original.

I would have to agree with Ron.They will last longer than the original covers.
Taking into account that the material is thicker and the perforations are farther apart.

*I was told by a very reliable source that Ford had the leather treated to match the vinyl on the side panels.That would explain the glossy finish on the original covers*


Ron,
Please keep us posted on the installation and send a few photos afterward?

Thank you

[onthegosvo]

Ron,

Any updates on the seat covers?
Have you installed them?
Any photos?

Thanks

[TheViking]

Not installed yet. We're home shopping now so I've had little time to do anything else.

[Wijitmaker]

Looking good - Stupid question... is the $525+shipping for the pair or is that each?

[onthegosvo]

For the pair of front seat covers.

[NavySVO]

Has any one talked to them about the rear seats lately?

ANYONE?

Also, Viking, did you get your covers on yet? If so, post some pics bro!

[TheViking]

No, I've been busy with a new house. Hopefully I will be around to it within the next few weeks.

[Morganized]

The house must be getting pretty old by now. Have you had time to work on the SVO ?
