Automotive upholstery questions
I bought a used Mustang GT Premium with the 401a package. It that has most of the options I want except the seats are all black and I’d like the middle panels of the seats and seat backs to be a color.

Would it be cheaper to have the panels replaced, or just order complete covers like Katskins and have them installed?

Maybe ask whoever is doing the installation.

Contact Lane Dicky, great shop here in CFL, they did work to fix up the interior on my Harley F150 and they do anything from full custom interiors to refurbs.

I’m fairly sure I know what the installers listed on the Katskins website will say and don’t have a clue who else I should talk to, so I figured I’d ask an unbiased source.

Orlando is probably too far, but HRK’s seats are similar to what I’m thinking.

Full replacement would be 'simpler' IMO.
If they're going to have to pull the covers to alter the existing setup anyway.

That, or find a wrecked one with the seats you want, then flip your seats to offset the difference

These guys are local here in Jax and I've used them for my boat and a few motorcycle seats. They do great work. Give them a call and ask them.

Ask HRK or SpinZone's guy if they can recommend someone closer to you.
I am sure it is a small world of people that do that kind of specialty work.

I would look for the ford original seat covers that have the desired color. OEM quality and hog ring installation.
