05 - 09 Seats In A Fox

  • Sponsors (?)


They do look pretty great. If it were my car, the airbag tag would bug me, but I'm just weird like that. Is the airbag module in the seat, or is it in the pillar in those cars?

I'd like to see a weight comparison, if either of you guys are willing to weigh one VS a Fox seat.

Everytime I see a thread like this, I get tempted to replace the seats in my 86.

2 things prevent me:

I REALLY like the 86 seats and Halo headrests.
I consider those seats a trademark of the model year.

Still... That came out very nicely and is VERY tempting. :nice:

I'm right there with ya man. The 85/86 halo seats are iconic, and it's held me back from swapping them out for anything... Though a swap like this would be VERY tempting. The halo headrest looks cool, but it would be nice to have a headrest that actually acted like a headrest haha.

I always thought the Fusion Sport seats looked pretty great too, though I have no idea if they would work in a Mustang.

I can weigh the difference. I have stock 4 banger seats coming out though. I'll probably do the swap in the next few weeks once the weather breaks!

Nik if i were you id just keep the 86 seats. As you've said, they are iconic! If anything id recover them in new fabric and seat cushions. Restore them if they aren't in good shape!

The GT500 seats are more comfortable than the basic GT seats, however I am sure they will still be a great improvement over the fox seats.

I mean, that may be true, but my seats aren't just "basic GT seats". they are black and grey leather seats, and look identical to the OP's seats minus the snake. So i'd assume they are close to, if not the same seat. Regardless, as you've said the visual and comfort factors will be greatly improved.

Shout out to my best bud out in the Mittin @SVT32VDOHC for the seat hookup! I also have 99-04 rear black leathers to go in the back. :)
