miker,



While 5 years may not be enough to demonstrate increased durability (not even sure how long Larry's have offered the leather option), I get the impression you may (grudgingly?) feel the extra $ was not wasted?

Daniel , I have had seats covered both ways  , with the preformed foam and foam cut and glued together ,   to me i would pay more for the preformed foam ,  the cover fits better and looks better,  w3ell worth a little extra,,,.   where  did you find the preformed   foam ,  and is this just for birds?  or our 55 56 pass. cars also...?            Sam                                                             West central  Florida

NPD (National Parts Depot) was the only place I found that sells the molded foam (F185) for T-Birds. Don't know if they also have a catalog for pass. cars. It costs 30% more, by the way.

Daniel, The leather was quite a bit better than the old cheap vinyl I took off the car. I was trying to compare it to the material in modern cars. I'm partial to good fabric in daily drivers.
