Well, instead of more power I decided to do something I've wanted to do for the last 2.5 years. I was thinking of upping the power, but really, I've only been able to enjoy the power my car has for 2 months since the rebiuld got done in August basically and it's been in storage since.
So that will be next year....so for this year this is what I'll be adding in the next week or so once they arrive. Got them for a steal!!!!! 10th Anniversary Cobra seats front and back. All leather...the center isn't suade like on the normal 03/04 seats. I think they will look bad ass for sure :D

Lisa, something must be wrong....I had to delete ALL my previous attachments to make room for that little picture.
What's up with that? Can you look into it?

Thanks....these have 1,200 miles on them. That's it. You can't buy these at any dealership...I called 3. Same story, Ford will not sell a complete set of seats for past model years unless you give them a vin and an accident report. I got these for about 1/2 what Ford wants for just the front 2 Recaro CLOTH seats from the Cobra R.
I'm geeked.

Hey, you mind shooting me a PM to let me know roughly hat you pay'd for the set, and who your source was? I friend of mine has a white/tan 96 Cobra and he's looking for the suade/leather look like on the 2001 Snakes and he obviously wants them as cheap as possible. Let me know.

Ebay.
The company was Stang Parts...they had them listed on ebay.
I saw a set of 03 seats going for $750...no rears. Guy was by Metro airport. I'm sure you could talk him down.
I saw the Mystichrome seats (limited edition as you know) going on www.modulardepot.com . The guy was asking for over $1500 for the complete set...convertible.
No source...just DUMB luck. :D

Even more good news.....someone is buying my seats for $300. People on ebay are not even getting $150 for them. The 99 Cobra seats are just GT seats.
Sucker born every minute. :D

Can't see it, but the front and back calipers are painted just like the 03 anniversary ones (red w/ black brackets) and the R's have some red in them....I've looked at numerous pictures of the black 10th anniversary cars with these seats and it looks sweet.
I have my door inserts painted silver right now but will probably repaint them red to match the new seats. Still thinking that one over.

Seats are in and look SWEET. They feel 1000% better too. The stock 99 seats had NO support. I'm very happy.
Pics will come later. Car is partially covered and not enough light to take any good pics.
Very happy with my purchase. :D :naughty:
