I did some work for a while at a shop that installed these. They are very high quality. They are not a good DIY project but with a good installation you would be hard pressed to be disappointed.

Did you order direct from katzkin? I was under the impression they would only go through an installer. Howā€™s the cost if you DIY?
Ordered them through a seller on eBay for around $1100.

I had Katzkin covers installed on my GT500 Recaro seats. Had a local vendor do the work. The online configurator leaves a lot to be desired. If you work with a vendor they can give you way more options as far as stitching designs and panel colors.

awesome! I just messaged them asking if they could do a custom red Mach 1 logo in the headrestā€¦ Thanks for the idea!

I had the cobraā€™s done at a local embroidery shop because Katzkin doesnā€™t have the license to use the design. Iā€™m betting they wonā€™t be able to do the Mach1 logo for the same reason but good luck!

You would win that bet - they just answered and said exactly that. I wondered how you got them to do the Cobra logo for you! But I may try that embroidery shop route with the headrests.

Deep breathā€¦ order placed
see if they'll do the headrest front face in red. I don't like the red in the 'neck' but the headrest should be colored. I wish this kind of pattern was available. (note the lower seat)

See my latest post above... going to get the headrests black and try to get a red Mach 1 logo embroidered into them. But I agree with you, wasn't crazy about the red neck but wanted some color in the headrest.

This is what I was referring to about going through a vendor, they can print out a diagram of the seats and you can specifically call out which panels you want colored and what type of material. The online configurator limits you.

Ford has a department that can give the okay for a 1 off for a customers custom. Whether theyā€™ll do it or not Iā€™m not sure. Ask?

Deep breathā€¦ order placed. Not sure if Iā€™m doing the right thing or not but itā€™s done. Sent the salesman pics of the interior and the hood graphics to help pick the color shades, there are a lot to choose from on the Katzkin website. In case anyones interested the colors are black with red (I had originally picked dark graphite with salsa but he talked me out of those). Combo style with perforated seating surfaces and silver stitching (also his recommendation to blend better with the existing center console stitching). Also you have to specifically tell them you have cooled seats, the regular heated seat foam backing doesn't work with the cooled seats. So I guess in a month or so Iā€™ll be posting a set of Mach 1 seat covers in the classifieds!

Full interior Including red door panel trim. Not sure Iā€™ll put that on, Iā€™ve heard a lot of horror stories about how difficult it can be. Will have to check out the instructions and see if Iā€™m willing to give it a go, or if itā€™s more likely to end up looking terrible because of my poor craftsmanship.

I had a shop do those on my car to match my seats, looks very good!
