Help me pick my seats!

[Tickle]

I'm about to order some TMI 03-04 cobra seats for my CW vert with black interior.

I'm going to do black on dark charcoal.

The question is, do I go custom with white stitching or standard black stitching. I got the white stitching idea from a terminator owner.

Help me pick, white or black stitching:

Black stitching:

I think the white stitching looks killer! Especially the white cobra. The black just blends too much imo.

The white stitching looks awesome, I definitely agree with Lzr96Snake that you should go with that. It's not that the all black seats look bad, it's just with the white stitching accent looks a lot better IMO.

white stitching! and i'd also be curious to hear your thoughts on installing the covers when you're done

Havertown? I'm right around the corner from you!!

I'm paying a shop to install them. I don't want to mess them up especially the rear which I hear is a bitch

I don't blame you. In that case I'd be curious to hear how much they charge you

Quote is $300. I think its fair for me to not have to worry about it. Plus they may resolve a convertible top padding issue I have.

That sounds very reasonable - I doubt I could find a local shop that wouldn't charge an arm and a leg here in the NE.

The white stitching is leaps and bounds nicer than the black stitching. Carry it through the rest of the car (handbrake and shift boot) and it would look great.

Ive ordered the white stitching seats and a matching shift boot. I cant wait!

Waylon @ TMI has been awesome through the process, I cant say enough about how helpful he has been. Another nod to Modify My Stang that helped with the custom order.

If you have any doubt about TMI or their quality, ask Waylon for samples. Their vinyl is better than the factory leather, not hard to be better but it is so much nicer. These seats cant get here fast enough!

Any updates on your seats?

They should arrive in another week or 2. I will post tons of pics when they do!

Where did you order through to get the white stitching option? Looks killer!

 

[MysticRob]

White does look great. That's my vote.

Im in the process of wanting to redo my seats as well with TMI's kits. its just so expensive and i can't make my mind up on what materials i want to use.Did you go vinyl and unisuade?

I went with vinyl and unisuede. Talk to Waylon at TMI and he will send you free samples of any material they use. The vinyl is actually softer than the leather, and definitely better quality than the leather ford used in our cars. Another thing that sold me was that the only parts of 03 seats that are actually leather are the bolster inserts. The whole rear seat is vinyl. For the extra money, you aren't getting much leather and there could be slight mismatches with the vinyl. Plus vinyl is easier to maintain.

Talk to Waylon and he will help with any question--just PM TMIProducts. I had the same issues with materials and couldn't pull the trigger. Once I saw what white stitching looked like and I felt the samples, I was sold.

 

[marshall_cobra]

I've been in contact with him and recently just asked for the materials. i should be receiving some in the coming weeks! and i like the white stiching but i also kinda like the green stitched cobra emblem. They are going in my bright atlantic blue cobra. Do you think a Blue stitched cobra emblem would look good on the dark charcoal ? I usually just go with the standard look, but something different might look good. opinions anyone?
