Leather is something I never really considered, perhaps due to the hot Texas heat and the upkeep. All the cars I have ever own has been equipped with a cloth interior so it has never been a factor with me.

Never Had.
Now If you were talking about seats w/ springs, then we’d be in business. Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
I have leather in my current car and love it. It’s soft as an old pair of calfskin gloves, and much better than vinyl in the summer thumbsup.gif
I just have to remind myself to armorall them whenever I clean the car.
Hey, that works as a reminder, glad WI Collector Car Could Help! Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif

I think the rule of thumb is to condition the leather in the car every 30 days. The only leather in my car is the steering wheel but it will soon be replaced with an aftermarkert piece.

It just becomes part of the routine I suppose. We won’t mention what Ripper uses leather in his car for! icon_eek.gif
Quote:I have a some cars with leather and have really liked them. I think they are easier to keep clean.Did you find that they wear easier as well?
Yes I do think that leather wears longer, in fact sometimes the older it gets the better it looks. But I would not buy a car because it didn’t have leather. None of the cars I have now have leather.

The difference between this and the stock piece is that the diameter of the wheel is thicker and gives a better grip.
That grip is important when you find yourself handling those curves a wee bit faster than you should, something very easy to do in your mustang I bet! Drogar-BigGrin(LBG).gif
Believe me more than I want to. The wheebase and weight distribution for this car is below par and although there are enhancements out there in the aftermarket to improve the handling, you can only do so much on a chasis platform based on a 78 Ford Fairmount.
The 05 Mustang have a longer wheelbase and better weight distribution so things are improving.
