Seat Cover Indecision



My new seat cover finally arrived from Auto Obsessions. While I'm very pleased with the fit and quality, I ordered a solid blue unit- imagine my surprise upon opening the box and finding this!
But...now that I've loosely draped it over the seat to see what it was gonna look like, I'm not so sure I don't like it better than the solid blue. I'm racked with indecision. What do you guys think?

I like it, personally. Will get dirty more easily but I think it goes well with the rest of the interior from what I can see.

I personally really like the blue and white on yours but here's a picture of my solid blue cover if it helps you make the decision..

I think with the other parts of your interior it works well. I'd keep it, but I would also call and complain and see about getting a discount since they sent the wrong one and you are "settling" for this one.

What color blue is your truck? The stock Academy Blue?

Looks cheap to me, the solid blue doesn't have the Ford logo but has a rich look. And yes, blue jeans and the white are going to be be problematic.

I like the blue/white combo as well. BTW, I have used covers from the same manufacturer before and all their covers, whether single color or two tone, are available with the embossed logo.

It's marlin blue, originally solid color (been resprayed once) but when I paint it I believe I'll two tone it with wimbleton white in the stock factory scheme.

Uh...Hello. Of course it has the stock gear 'n lightning bolt Ford logo! Right there on the seat back plain as day. Ya can't see it?! Maybe you need to trade in your cheap monitor for some quality equipment.

Punctuation is soooooo important here, guys.


What he meant was "The solid blue seat in the picture posted by My1964ford doesn't have the Ford logo but has a rich look."


The comma instead of a period there totally throws it off.


The cheap comment - well you did ask for opinions and they do vary greatly.


If you were totally happy would you be asking "What do you guys think?"


Just wondering...


When I'm completely happy I couldn't give a da** what anyone else thinks...


So ask yourself and you may have your own answer.....

I don't think it is bad looking. But if it was mine I would want solid blue. I emailed auto obsession to see if they could make sure if I ordered one it would be a solid Color.

Were you shooting for the original look? With the logo in place that says yes. With the rest of the look it says no.

As for me if they shipped that they would have caught hell from me very quickly. I am in no mood for ever dealing with a white seat bottom in a car or truck.
