Default Factory Leather Installed - Front

OLD POST FROM 2017
2015 F150 XLT
Original interior: XLT chrome appearance/Medium Earth Grey w/jumpseat

This replaces my Roadwire all-black leather (black stitching, no perforated inserts).

I was quoted $225 by a local shop but I just didn't have time to go and drop it off for an entire day so I decided to do it myself, took me a couple of hours but it was pretty easy to do.

For now I've only replaced the two front seats, haven't decided if I'm going to replace the rear seats as well but quite honestly it doesn't look bad so I might just keep it as is.

Before anyone says it..... yes I know! Aftermarket leather is higher quality blah blah blah. Don't care, I simply prefer the factory look.

I also went ahead and swapped out the headrest guide sleeves to black. I might do the seat-belts next, swapping them to black.

I ended up with quite a few wrinkles but the leather is installed pretty much as tight as it will go so hopefully the Texas heat will take care of a few of them for me, if not oh well I can deal with it.

Looks good. Either sit the truck in the sun or leave the truck running with the heat on for a bit.

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm gonna try putting it in the sun and see if maybe it tightens up a bit and lose some of those wrinkles.

Were you unhappy with your Roadwire kit, or was it simply to get the factory look? I had Roadwire on my Tacoma and thought it was excellent leather.

A little of both.

The color on the roadwire wasn't as dark as I hoped, it looked kinda like a faded black and it didn't have contrast stitching or perforated inserts which was a mistake on my part. The leather itself was excellent but overall I just prefer things to be factory.
