I've just reconditioned a 1988 Turbo Coupe. It is silver with the Raven/Grey leather interior. I negotiated with leatherseats.com to make a new kit for me. They had the pattern. I just had to send them pics of the two-toning. Well, they did a great job and I've got a Turbo Coupe now with a brand new leather interior that looks great and smells like new! I highly recommend leatherseats.com if you need a kit for yours. I've used this company before on other projects, and they always did a great job. The kit for front and back with leather seating surfaces (as factory did) and two toning was about $1300. Here's some pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/93634427@N04/

If you need new seat foam, you can use the seat foam for 87-88 Mustang GT's (front seats only). I had to get new foam for my driver seat. I got it from 50resto.com.

I know I am bumping a dead thread, but can I ask who you worked with at leatherseats.com? I tried reaching out to them and they said they never made seat covers for our cars. From what I can tell, using the front pattern for a 90 mustang and the rear seat pattern for an 88 taurus should be very close. I'm interested to hear how you got them to make your set.

Feel free to reply or PM me.

Geoff, I checked and Erik has not signed in for a long time

Here is some info from a guy that would know:
"The leather seats in the TC's are the same as the ones found in the
Mustangs..try Texas Mustang Parts for replacement cover sets. As for the
headliner, go to your local parts house..or Texas Mustang Parts...and get a
do-it-yourself kit. I have done three with good results. The only
suggestion is to not do it when it it 95 deg outside in a black car. Had to
do that one again Smile"

I called them at one point but don't have the number. It was more cost effective to find someone selling good conditioned leather seat covers, and re upholster with hog rings and hog ring pliers.

Sorry for not responding guys. I had sold that Turbo Coupe back in 2013. However, I missed that car so much. I had to get another. So, now I'm a '88 turbo coupe owner again and plan to keep this one for a long time. I will be frequenting this site again.

leatherseats.com did my interior on the one I had mentioned in this post. However, that was several years ago. I asked them on another car (1990 Lincoln Mark VII) and they didn't have the pattern. (nor the willingness to do much on old cars) So, I now work with autocustomleathers.com. Great quality and similar price to leatherseats.com.
