If you're looking for a nice white, Katzkin introduced a new whitish leather called Alabaster. Its not as stark white as their previous Pearl. I like it a lot. You can either use it for accents or go full Alabaster. Cobalt blue in the picture would also be cool for accents.

You could 100% replicate the 50th anniversary limited edition interior using Alabaster and Black with the Katzkin patterns choosing the right sections to color white. If you like that black white look. I dont really so not for me.

You could fully replicate this

I like the K23-100 from the katzkin catalog, the mostly black with white/light grey bolsters.

Thing about perforated inserts is that they are a MAGNET for attracting stains. And it's a pain to get them out without taking it to a professional detailer with a powerful vacuum and a ton of patience.

That is my biggest fear about perforated inserts... I like how they look but like you said they are a magnet for dirt and debris..

Just find a toothpick, 30 minutes, and go to town with it. Gently, of course.

I love the look of perforated leather. And usually a toothpick + vacuum is an easy way of dealing with its issues. Just gotta remember to do it regularly though.

Simple solution. If you're going Katzkin don't get the perforated option.

This is true. I am actually going to be going with Leatherseats.com. They will ship directly to you instead of requiring you to go to an authorized installer. They actually use katzkin covers from what I am told so it is a win win.

PS: I do have experience in installing seat covers which is why I do not want to pay someone to do it for me.

You dont have to go to a installer to buy Katzkin. Check out canadaseatskins.com . They got a really good deal on 15 Mustang Katzkins. The full leather kit is a great price, and the one with vinyl sides is only 750 or so. No sales tax and free shipping to boot.

Leatherseats.com basically offers the same service as that site. Thanks for the info though!

So it looks like black on black with perforated insert is currently wining.
