Default replacement upholstery options?

Just got a '95 base convertible. Body and mechanicals are perfect, but interior, especially driver's seat is tired. No luck on any Mustang forum or supplier for replacement upholstery. SoI am looking at Carid's product. Any one use them and can you please post a pic? thanks

I have cloth. Actually buying/shipping seats seems to be very expensive. I washoping someone had bought from Carid and could post their pictures soicouldget an idea of the fit of their covers.

Trust me when I say this, trying to "patch your seats" is not worth it. Spend the money and get the seats you want, or pay to have them properly refurbished. I would look into new seats, or new seat fabric and do the work yourself.

Seat covers will look OK from the outside looking in, however upon closer inspection you will clearly be able to tell the difference. Put it this way, if you're trying to do car shows then you should pass on the covers, if you're just looking to look good for everyday, then they're passable.

I don't know how it is in Canada, but I have gone the junkyard route in the past on interior parts. I was able to find a nice set of seats from a later model mustang for my 83. You can put later model seats in, but you have to get the right tracks to make them fit.
