no way jose.. stock TC seats are too comfy to replace.. especially when my lumbar still works ;)

But they break easily ;)

Newer Stang seats have lumbar too...some of 'em.

I'll have to show you a pic of the seats in my 'Bird..

i'd be all game for it, IF i could trim the foam and get my covers over them.. well, not my covers.. but the blue/grey covers whenever i find a clean set.. i was going to get them from graham's parts car, but i'm not going to ask him to go through that headache.. it was enough of a PITA just stripping my seat back

If they're blue..it's really just faded raven. I had a set that I pitched a few years ago...nobody wanted 'em. Not even for shipping.

Still have the headrests though, they're mint, except for the fade to blue..

my headrests are mint, not even faded.. they look great, but make the rest of the seats look terrible.. i don't like the seats without the grey, it's too much blue for my liking.. i was going to use the seats out of my black car, but they're in bad shape.. starting to tear around the piping :(
