If you add some blue RIT dye to leather conditioner spray and then hose the seats down with it those lines in the seats will be much less noticeable. I do it to mine with the same color seats.

I need to do something with them, they are getting pretty dried out, what kind of conditioner spray do you use, and where can you get the RIT?

what rims are those and where did you get them off of? wheel spacer or adapeter if any and size?
They are the 2005-2008 mustang GT wheels, 17", running them with 1.25" spacers. Probably going to go back to HPP wheels though.

I use whatever conditioner spray is on sale. That stuff seems way overpriced to me, and because I've tried so many I will also say I haven't noticed much difference between any of them.
The dye is the liquid type that you can get in the fabric section of just about any store that sells fabric, including WalMart. I think the color that I've been using is the Navy Blue. You want the color to be on the dark side because once it dries it will just about match the blue of the seats. You add a LOT (about a quarter to a third of the dye bottle) of liquid dye into your conditioner bottle, so you'll have to empty some of the conditioner out to make room. Then you spray and spray and spray and get the seats really wet to let that shit soak in the cracks and lines of the seat, then wipe it all off and move it around to get it in those lines some more. And then you dry it thoroughly with paper towels, getting everywhere so your clothes don't get blued.
And here's the 1988 Crown Victoria I was in charge of parting out at school, which also meant I could do the heater core job before doing mine, and I got to keep a ton of parts!!!

White cars are starting to grow on me. I definitely wouldn't mind having a box TC in white with the blue interior. Plus the '89 grill and the clear corners work well together. I might have to keep an eye out for some in good shape.
