    Default 1985 mustang GT seats with vinyl sides?

    Hi, I bought a pair of 85 GT seats, there the gray with the red piping, I noticed that the sides of the seats are vinyl. Did they ever make vinyl sides on originals? Or are they seat covers? Thanks

    If you look close around the edges, you can notice the little colour difference from the vinyl

    That picture is so small it's hard to see but I believe I understand what you are saying. The fabric material looks like OEM stuff, not the totally incorrect TMI repro stuff. The 87-93 sport seats did have vinyl on the sides and back. I wonder if someone combined the fronts from one and the backs from another. I have never seen 85-86 sport seats with the vinyl sides before though. I imagine it wouldn't look bad and would be easier to take care of then that fragile fabric is.

    Probably was done by a custom upholstery shop. Consider that outer bolster material was easy to stain permanently and wear out...not a bad idea!
