Default faded seat covers

My 68 coupe has a few rips in the front bucket seat, drivers side. The back seat is perfect, just old. I thought about re-covering the two front seats withseat covers from Mustangs Plus, matching the color to the code from my car. They are ivy gold. Will the back seat need to be re-done as well because of the fading or will it be very close? I hate to throw away the cover to the back seat when it does indeed look so good, but my concern is that it will be so noticably different that I may have to. Anybody else have the same issues? Thanks[>:]

The back seat is the easiest to recover. If I were you, I would recover all of the seats so you have a perfect match.

Definitely do both at the same time. I tried to save a few bucks and started with the two fronts. Needless to say - they didn't match AT ALL. Ended up costing my almost double what it would have had I simply ordered the front and the back at the same time. (Also worth noting - it was with great difficulty that I was able to find the back seat sold separately.)

Soaring is right. By the time you do the fronts seats, you'll fly through the back one.

Plus it will be cheaper when you buy it as a kit. Front and rear.
