Project 81 HACK JOB...gets a back seat!!!

yep, thats a seat all right


pics of seat in car???

That looks wicked. It overshadows the bottom half now cause its so shiny and new!

Oh by the way, the bottom of that seat is not leather, Ford hasen't used leather on a rear seat since the SN95 cars. So the fact you did it in black (dark charcol) vinyl doesn't take away anything, it matches 100%.

Great price too!

Yes if you know about leather you can tell the difference right away. With my cars I know every spot that is leather vs vinyl, and I think that goes a long way in making sure you pay extra attention to the spots that will wear the most. The SN95 and fox's got leather seat faces for the rear, but they changed that around in the new edge cars. To be honest a lot of new cars feature imitation leather seats and it annoys me. $30K for a new car and it basically has vinyl seats, like you would get in a work van, junk.

The rear seat isn't a big deal I guess, and the fact that you matched it right is perfect, to me it is just companys cheaping out on cars.

By the way last I knew the 03-04 or maybe just 04 Cobras had leather seats, but 100% leather (minus the seude area), including the sides, and backs of the seat. Thats classy .

looking good.no matter what material,if it looks good,it looks good.plain and simple.so my 03 cobra seats ARE real leather or not? how bout 96 cobras,bc thats what im putting in my 88lx

96 Cobras are leather on the seat and back faces. Vinyl on the sides and back. Hang on one sec... I'll show you.

Here everything outlined in red is leather, the sides of the bottom, sides of the back, back, and small section on the seat bottom are all vinyl.

That's a great price. I figured it might have just been dusty from kicking around the shop. Absolutely wonderful work though, I wish I had an upholstery shop of that caliber locally. GL with your paint!

yeah,honestly i think the vinyl looks better than the actual leather especially after time.i hate all those creases in the seats

See I think the creases add character to them. Not to mention the right leather feels better than vinyl.

I remember those days, and the day I sold a kid my back seat. He decided to sit on it at our event and I warned him not to until he washed it. He didn't know what I meant, and I explained he will understand when he is 16-17 and has nowhere else to go .
