Black Leather in Tan interior

I added black Lariat seats in my tan interior. Not bad, since the rest of the truck is black, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have done it.

PS if any of you guys can tell me how to get pictures to post directly, please let me know.

its crossed my mind to replace my tan leather with black when the time arises. now that i can see what it looks like is a big bonus. im not trying to be insulting you but im staying tan for sure now. im not digging that look at all.

I think it actually looks pretty nice.. gives it a nice two-tone look.. it's definately unique to say the least..

I think it works well enough considering he has a black truck, so atleast it matches somewhere. If it were any other color truck, it wouldn't look so nice.. but I think he pulled it off

anywho.. I say good job!

I appreciate the honest feedback. I do have pics of the back seat. If Barrett will be kind enough to tell me how he got a pic in a post (not just the link) I'll add it in. I am thinking of a black leather center armrest replacement and maybe a black steering wheel.

The originals were tan cloth and had seen a beating from spills and stains. The $275 price on ebay for these brand new take off's was a big factor in this decision. No tan leathers were to be found for even twice that amount. This site was awesome in figuring out how to remove and reinstall factory covers.

I think it looks awesome... The tan leather is too light IMHO

Nice job on the seats. They look good, and you definitely got a killer deal at that price. I paid that much for my fake leather covers. Here's the pic of your rear seat.



I kind of went with black, but in fake leather.

Last 5oh - thanks for putting the pic up. I like the two tone pattern in yours - nice job. I think I'll have to add some more black to the interior to balance the color out in mine.

Thanks brotha. I don't know what else you could do to add more black.

Well, one other thing I did was add custom fit (designed for 04-08 F150) floor matts in black. The pic showing the front has black matts as well, but I have my stock matts flipped over to help protect them.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost to have your seats done like that? I have a cloth interior in mine but I wanted leather so I was thinking about eventually buying leather seats or what you did looks great.

Nice, thanks. And how big of a pain in the **** was it to put them on yourself? I just started looking around and found some real leather seat covers in the $6-700 price range. I might be getting me some of these real soon.

Once you figure out how to remove the backrest of the rear seat, the rest it straight forward. Took me a couple of hours.
