So I need some help deciding what I should do with my aftermarket leather seats... I am curious to see what you guys like better. Let me know if you have any ideas as well!

Option 1: Two tone interior

Option 2: Black on Black with white stitching and perforated insert

Option 3: Black on Black with white stitching and solid insert

Well youre talkin to the right person because I researched Katzkin for ages for my new GT base and Ill give you my opinions. I always go no perforation because quite frankly why the f would you want holes in your leather? Never understood that trend, and Im old school and love solid leather. I went black on black because I have a race red car, and dont need color accents. My car is so bright and out there that a blacked out interior looks damned good. I also went black stitching for mine too. They do have some beautiful two tone designs for the 2015 Mustangs though if you were so inclined. Some nice black red combos with red stitching, wings, etc. Have you seen the full 2015 design portfolio? Its a PDF, some great options. The most important thing I can recommend is whatever color you get, get the 100% leather option without any vinyl. That means no vinyl seat backs, no vinyl back seats, just all leather. Canada Seat Skins has a pretty good deal on those.

Imo the two tone probably won't look right without the matching door panel to go with it. I'd go with perforated because I think it looks nice and a little cooler in the summer.

All the 2015 Mustang Katzkin kits come with the door panels, so I can remove that as a source of worry. You can get any color you want for the doors.

Well then shit, go for the two tone all the way!

I'd go with the "Black on Black with white stitching and perforated insert".

Not a huge fan of the two tone colors, especially with your Guard exterior. The caramel-ish color goes nice with a white exterior, not something as dark as Guard in my opinion.

Maybe lighter grey inserts if you're doing a two-tone?

I considered grey inserts but there is just something about it that doesn't sit right with me.... I'd rather have all black then grey. Now I also considered white and red. White would be a pain in the a** to keep clean and red I fear would make my car look to much like a Christmas tree... Lol

Yah, agreed on both points with white/red. I'd say go all black then. The caramel just wouldn't look right with Guard when you see it from outside.

A great option for the 2015 Mustang if you want a slight two tone but nothing dramatic is to do the wings only two tone and do matching stitching. Do you notice the Katzkin seat pattern for 2015 has the premium interior seat style? You can choose to have those four little ovoloid sections on the seat bolsters a secondary color. And match the stitching to that color. Looks damned good. Something like the one on the right in this picture:

That grey insert actually doesnt look half bad! I'm curious how that would hold up over time though... Blue jean stains is what I am worried about the most...
