Unless you have plenty of cash to splash around to get a really top notch job done I go with origional as most (but not all) of the custom ones didn't look as good as the origionals IMO

Hello. Ditto the original. Original, besides being so much less expensive, also has the advantage of helping on resale of the car. A custom interior would radically reduce the potential buyer pool. You might find that one person that likes it, but it would just be funny-looking to most folks, no matter how well the work was done.

Go with the O !!! Personally any time I see a really great classic Mustang, and get up close to find some tuner interior, its a major disappointment.

I would definitely stay with the original. As others have said, the resale will be better and I really like the looks of the classic interiors - especially the pony upgrade.

what i'm thinking about doing if i would go custom would be the seats would all be in black leather and the middle of the seats would be a strip of fabric that says MUSTANG...i'll try to take a picture of the fabric that a cousin of mine has so you guys can see what i'm talking about.....
