Default Two tone leather seats

I am getting ready to put leather heated seats (Katzkin) into my grey 2012 XLT SCREW Ecoboost with max tow. I am torn between keeping it simple with all black leather or doing something a little different and doing two tone. The two tone I am looking at is basically black on the outsides with a light grey in the middle. It is very similar to the seats you can order on the Harley Edition truck and the colors match the interior of my truck perfectly.

So what do you guys all think, black or two tone???? Also if anyone has pics of two tone leather please post them. I have seen a few on here during my searches, but I would like to see some more.

Thanks
Todd

Not that I have it but I think two tone is the way to go! May put it in my truck at some point.

IMO, the all blackish interior in my truck was too much, when I recovered the seats I got two tone black and grey, IMO it looks much better and more custom than stock.

Mine aren't leather, they are wetsuit material, here are some pictures of two tone to give you an idea

I would definitely 2 tone it. Check out road wire too, I recovered my seats in my last truck with one of their kits it it held up very well & looked great.

I am paying 1500 installed which includes the heated seats. You may be able to get them a little cheaper, but I did them as part of my truck deal through the dealer. I know you can buy the kits online for far less online, but I wanted mine professionally installed and didn't want to pay out of pocket.

I love my two tone seats in my fx4 with the appearance package. It's noticeable but very suttle at the same time.

Nate1302,

Those look great. That is exactly what I am planning on doing. I also see you have the heated seats. So far how do you like the leather? Does the quality and appearance seem good? Do you remember what colors you used?

Thanks

The leather seems to hold up really good but I have only had them for about 5 months now. I can't remember the exact color I used for the middle. The outside is a graphite black. Who ever is installing should help you find a pretty good match on the color tho.
