i think the leather is cheap quality, and yes most of the leather seats are vinyl.. they should call them vinyl seats with leather trim.
however, they look 100 times better than cloth, add to the value of your car, and when they are freshly conditioned and cleaned, they look awesome. they do seem to be wearing really fast too. my car has 10 k on it, the seats look like 75k..

Its a cheap and easy mod and they are way better/more comfortablethan stock cloth that come with the car. You should enjoy them.

I was pleased to find out that leather GT take offs were so affordable and an easy install, I love leather seats (or vinyl-ish) either way, again, it was much better than my cloth. I agree with others that if you condition your seat material that it will look great and last a long, long time. When and if they do get worn for a mere $299 I can have all new seating. That rocks. God I love this car!

HEY!!!......cloth aint so bad!!! i'm sure the pleather is a nice improvement but the cloth isnt so bad compared to other cars with cloth interior, especially the rock hard imports. i may consider getting leather takeoff seats myself down the road but i personally think the cloth are nothing to get ur panties in a bunch over.
hehehe......someone had to defend the cloth.....[8D]

I didn't hate the cloth, in my case, the previous owner was a smoker so the seats smelled like death. I do like the look of the leather because all the mustang writing in the cloth made me woozy. I would agree though, there are cars coming off the line with cloth seats not near as good as what the stang came with.

I dunno...I owned a 95 Nissan 240 SX and a 98 Nissan Maxima...both with cloth seats and both far more impressively soft and comfortable compared to the Stang cloth now....just sayin'

comparisons.....cloth, impossible to clean if you get a stain in it (leather just wipes off).......but cloth doesnt get as cold or as hot as the temperature changes outside, leather does, cloth has better longevity then leather, because leather will crack and wear
theres more, I just could think of these for now

RE: Are you happy with your leather seats?
When I got the IUP I got the leather seats.....actually they weren't lying when they said "leather seats" because the part you sit in is leather. 
Anyway, I wanted the ease of cleaning my seats Vs cloth.
