Haven't gone leather....yet. Katzkin or Roadwire are probably the best. A lot depends on the actual installer though. Ask for references and look at their work closely after it's been installed for a while.

Katskins and Auto Trim designs. They can be hard in any color for@ $1200. You also get them in a variety of materials and heated as well. So far over 2 years and still look good. They also add more cushion and firmness over the stock cloth.

I forgot to say it would look factory since it it ford leather just out of another truck, you know the fit would be great too.
