Lariat leather question...
Did the shade of the tan leather in the F-150 Lariats change at some point between 04 and 06? I am in the process of swaping out my cloth for leather, and I need to source a set of headrests. (The leather set I bought did not include them.) My problem is, it looks like there is a pretty significant difference in color between 04 and 05-06. (Later years look darker than what I have.)
Any ideas?

Thanks for the confirmation fellas. I was hoping it wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me.
I kinda like the lighter ones myself. Plus they match the console that I already installed. I can see why Ford went darker though. It looks like these will be a challenge to keep clean. (Oh darn - Now I have to spend even more time when I detail the truck. )
I think someone at Ford's replacement parts division is hittin' the bottle pretty hard if they think a headrest is worth $125. (Actually, the sell price is around $95 - Still pretty outrageous if you ask me.) I've got a couple local upholstry shops that will recover mine with matching vinyl for about $30-40 a piece. That, plus what I paid for the seat covers is still way better than the $700-800 for an aftermarket replacement set.
