Premier Trim Package Before/After

[blkandgud]

So premier only comes in black? Not that awesome dark saddle color?

I was looking around at some 15's, but I can't find any dealerships that have cars with the 68B option.

Oh come on. Maybe you don't prefer them but they are by no means vomit-inducing.

To each his own and all but the first thing I thought when I saw them was those are the ugliest wheels I've ever seen. I was honestly shocked when I found out they were a factory option. I obviously didn't have a choice with the performance pack but I happen to really like the PP wheels and I know there are many who don't so obviously personal opinion is all that matters.

Maybe they would look better on a color other than black, and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until I see them on another color, but I would still rather never see them again.

I actually like them better then the PP wheels. Don't see what's so bad about them? :shrug: But like you said, to each his own.

My biggest problem is they look like the car is on bicycle wheels. Five tiny little bicycle spokes.

I also saw the 18" Foundry wheels the other day and wanted to vomit. Different strokes for different folks though.

I loved the 18" wheels and paid $155 for them. I think they look fantastic on the DIB. The tires are much less expensive to replace and the wheel will be much easier to clean too.

I wish the PP wheels were a staggered 19" version of the 18" Foundry wheel instead of those black monstrosities.....

Tiny bicycle spokes?? They don't look at all tiny to me...

Don't know about the dark saddle, but comes in Red too.

68B comes in red or black.

No idea why somebody would want anything but black; those other colors stain so easily! Every car I've ever had with a non-black interior was just stained seats all around.

i purposely left if off my order because i got recaros and it does not change the leather on the recaros, just adds red stitching, softer console door covering and special inserts on the center of the door panel. Sitting in both on the same lot indoors there was not much difference in those pieces. The leather on the seats is softer with the premier trim, without recaros i would have ordered it.

Can't see the black edges in normal lighting(4 pm sunny Houston day) so it just looked like the shiny faces were all that was there.

There's no black stitching with or without premier trim.

Pictures aren't going to be particularly helpful, since the big upgrade from the Premier Trim package is in the quality of the materials, the feel of them. Like, the biggest upgrade is the MUCH higher quality of the feel of the leather on the seats; it doesn't really show up in a photograph, but the feel is worlds different. Also, soft-touch materials on the door arm rests and door card and center console lid, and contrast stitching on the upper dash.

From my understanding you will obviously not be able to feel the leather difference if optioning out Recaro seats.

You gain and lose a lot going with Recaros:

If optioning Recaros with a 400A, you obviously lose the power seat functions, air/heated seats
If optioning Recaros with 401A, you lose everything from 400A, plus the memory seat function
If you option Recaros with 68B, you also lose the stitching, and just gain the standard Recaro leather or cloth if you optioned a base car.

Seems like Ford should figure out a credit system for people who ordered the Recaros. Like I should be refunded some money for optioning 400A with Recaros. As well as if I optioned Recaros with the 401A.

I would assume that at least some of that has been accounted for in the price of the recaros?

The Saddle seats in my 2012 which I have had for 4 years now, and drive year round, don't have any stains on them.
