Definitely seats. Also, you can save yourself about $600 by doing it yourself. It's really not hard. If you do it yourself, then you can have seats and an exhaust.

Something I call personal personalazation.
Yeah I will be spending my time sitting in the truck.. And it will bring it back to "new" so to speak with a leather upgrade from the heather gray cloth. (nothing wrong with the cloth mind you)

However upgrading these trucks turns into "lust" and addiction... I do not need to tell you guys that.

Hmm - now that is also a thought and tempting....I just wasnt sure if I wanted to take that on myself. I have heard both scenarios "it wasnt that hard" and the other scenario "if you got the money just let someone else do it and save your self some headache..." However I suppose I can research some vids on that specially for these trucks on how to do it.

What seats do you have now?

I have the Special Edition cloth seats, and I love them.

I wouldn't change them out for leather ones personally.

But it you have the basic cloth seats, or the cloth seats with the tire tread that runs down the center and looks terrible (IMO), then seats for sure.

This is the interior I currently have.
Is this what you mean by "tire tread going down center"

No those are the basic cloth seats.

This is the best pic I could find of the "tire tread" seats.

Yours would definitely be worth the Katzkin upgrade.

I've seen a lot of interior shots posted and have never seen those (tire track) cloth seats before as well.

Are they a FORD factory seat? - If they are I feel for the folks that have them... they're just awful...

Yeah they are factory, I saw them in a few trucks when I was shopping around.

It looks God awful (again, IMO).

5.0 needs exhaust first!
I drove my last 3 Mustang's straight from the dealership straight to Kinney's Muffler shop and had exhaust put on right away, love that sound of a V8 rumbling thru dual exhaust.
