One of our local groups did something similar to that. It was a a good forum effort.

I regret selling the MINT 1990 Black Sport seats I had (Front and Rear) for $250.

There is...it's called black vinyl dye and new black upholstery.I'm wish there were more options for poor guys like me with blue interior

Meh, I didn't say I didn't like the blue, @Mstng93SSP ! Call me crazy but I LOVE red interior too. BUT red has even more support than blue. Everyone has black or gray interior these days... factory or converted. I like that my blue is different; it'll look right at home when I repaint my car the factory twilight blue.

If I could confirm that they would match crystal blue I'd probably start saving. I loooove old recaros. (LX?, is that what you have?)there are blue Recaros
I haven't been impressed by the "matching" of TMI. I believe they're the only one that makes repop crystal blue stuff.

If TMI material matched I’d def use them. I’d likely recover the standard seats or covert them to 92-93 sport or TMI cobra seats in crystal blue.
My 79 5.0 LX (or GLX?) had no console. I could wedge a drink between the seat and brake handle, but it sat on the carpet. The door latch handles were down where those speakers are. The seats were solid palamino vinyl, and the steering wheel was nothing like this. Were the pace cars that different, or is this not a 79?I wonder if TMI has the kit for ‘79 pace car Recaros in blue.
It's probably not a '79. The pace cars are known for the Recaros, but Ford stuck them in other models up to 1981. These are likely from a '80 or '81.
heres the ‘81 brochure showing thrn as an option on the ‘81 cobra
and the ‘80 brochure shows they are available in blue
I installed the Corbeau rear seat covering in my car, and gotta say I do like the fit and finish of that kit. It's nice and tight - almost too tight. It's made to match the GTS2 seats, but I used them as a stopgap until I can recover them to match my recaros.
I'd probably pick up another stock rear seat and just recover that. I do have a donor 87-89 GT seat that I would like to recover one day in black tweed just to have a "stock" set of black seats. I figured i'd give TMI a shot.
Call me crazy, but as awesome as my Recaro seats are, I have a thing for the OEM foxbody sport seats.
