Default 2003 Level II Seats, or 2008 Seats

I've got 3 seats of seats right now, and I'm not really sure which ones I want to use. I've got my stock seats, which are in great condition, but just are ugly, 2003 Black and Red Level II bucket seats, and 2008 Black and Grey Seats that would be converted into buckets. Just wanna see opinions on these because I'm not sure which ones I want to use.

2003 Level II seats


VS.

2008 Black and Grey seats.

I like the black and red as well. It won't have the problem of looking out of place with the color of your truck. Plus lumbar is nice on long trips. Granted I don't mine the bench. All of my other rangers were bench seats. it's nice to be able to carry someone if you really need to. Since you have a center console you are going to have to mod them to be 50/50's. You might as well stick with a nice looking seat to began with. I love my fx4 seats. Go with the 03's

It does have good back support, but the 03 style seats are far more comfortable. Especially on trips.
