I knew in 2004, back when they were touring it around for the 40th anniversary, that it would match my factory 94 red. They have since then been reupholstered (like I said, old pics) but they were only reupholstered because the seats started cracking after a decade exposed to the Texas sun. Having the factory upholstery perforated was stupid, and mostly lead to the cracking. It’s not like they had factory heated seats in 2005. And my aftermarket heated kit doesn’t seem to care.At one point, after having a daughter, my v6 cloth backseat was reinstalled and reupholstered with a partial kit, which has since been discontinued. When I took the seats to the upholstery, the book they had indicated that in 1994, ford did not use that type of grain. The 2005 book also claimed the grain was wrong. She could order me the correct leather for either seat. But since I wanted to match closer to the rear, I had to contact the company that originally made the aftermarket kit for 94. I was able to get in touch, and after some mailed samples, was able to confirm what I needed. It involved sending a mail order check to an individual (not business) but it all worked out in the end. I think the company also made 05+ seat covers, but they didn’t offer red so I didn’t even bother ordering from them. I’m assuming that something happened, and complaints were made. Rather than locate the correct grain for an extremely rare chance someone wanted to buy factory red, they decided not to offer it at all.</blockquote>
