might wanna try contacting your local dealership... I know that they can "wrap" the seats in leather, just not sure how the airbag plays into it....

It deploys from the side of the back.

Cro,
Before Chesterfield Trim closed we use to sew and buildthe seats for the Mustang.Around the parimeter of the seat the Mustang has whats called a French seam.Near the shoulder of the seats closest to the door is where the air bag deploys from.The stitching in that area is WEAK done by design of course so that the airbag deploys properly but the trim still looks nice.So I would be very careful when looking for new seat covers.Now if you wanted to just replace the centers of the front back and front cushion so that it two toned there won't be any problems.

I saw leather seat covers that come in airbag/ no airbag designs.
Here's what Moss Has:

See how the leather Roush ones won't work w/ the side airbags?
Have you looked atthe take off OEM seat covers?

Do a search and let us know if you find something better.
