'90 Coupe Seat Options?

[lespaul4563]

Hey all, bought my first mustang and the seats are quite ugly and smell rather bad. Lots of tobacco has been smoked in this car. I was wondering what options do I have for seats? I was thinking about just buying new upholstery, but I'd rather have a little more support and I like to sit in the seat rather than on the seat. The interior is black and Id like black vinyl, possibly cloth if it's nice. All in all, I'd like to be around $300-$400 since I need to paint the car as well. I had an 86 corvette a few years ago and I liked the seats in that, but they are very low to the floorboard and I have no clue how the tracks would go in. I like the "racing" seats, but I don't want to be cramped. Sorry for the long post, haha.
Thanks,
John

@TMIproducts has a wide selection and great customer service. They have seat foam available so that you are not sitting "on" the seat lol. If you order the TMI upholstery from LateModelRestoration it will be in the $300 - $400 range. Racing seats will cost way more than that and buying used seats online are normally $200 - $300 plus shipping.

I hear '05-'09 gt500 seats fit quite nicely in a Fox
you may pay a little more but craigslist is a great spot to find some deals.

With those seats, you slide around, too flat on that leather.

Could you essentially put seats from any year mustang into a fox providing that you have the seat tracks?

I love those plain fabric type seat, not big fan of leather, with leather its hot in summer and cold in winter, and it need maintaince or else it crack and it hard on my culo

79-2004 will bolt in...even with the newer tracks

Even the backseat can be made to work....although not a direct bolt-in

So say I wanted to grab seats from an 03'. All I would need is the seats themselves? Or would I need the tracks from the 03 to make them work as well? Sorry if this is repetitive, I just wanted to double check if I understood correctly.

If you don't mind canibalizing the seats from your Fox, then you can remove the tracks and install them on the SN95 seats.

Some guys like the Sn95 seat tracks though...especially the newer 8-way power tracks. They are heavy though.

You will need to do some splicing to hook up the 12V+ power to the seats though

2005+ seats are different story...will need to custom fab tracks

Oh okay, so the sn95 seats are all power then huh? Okay, well in that case I'll pass on doing that

Not all. Depends on the year, model, trim level etc.

Oh thats awesome, okay well I may look into that then. I think I found a pair for about 300. Is that a fair deal when I'm looking for them down the line. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/4443238061.html

I bought these for $500 on craigslist....

 

[GoldenEagle91]

Those look pretty darn sharp if i do say so myself

How bad was it to get the back seat to fit well? I'm strongly considering doing this

 

[Mustang5L5]

The seatbacks were easy in a hatchback. The bottom cushion required a little custom fab work. Nothing bad, but since nobody sits in my rear seat, its just for show.

Coupe rear will require some fab work as well as there are gaps in the size when you put the SN95 seat back in.

There are some threads on this if you do a search
