Default Saleen seat skins

Today i was offered the leather seat skins off a 2008 Saleen for free. My buddy told me these go for over $700, so i guess you could say i got a good deal!

Since i have a 2004 gt with cloth seats, i'm not sure there will be a way to make this work.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to make these work? Who would i contact for this kind of work?

It appears (but not sure) there would have to be some custom cutting, and added foam bolstering to make it work.

If any of you have any kind of experience with this or know who i could contact please let me know.

There has to be a way because this would look so cool in my car!

since the sn197 seats are alot bigger and designed diffrent than the new edge seats are there would be alot of trimming and cutting to make them fit right if they could still use any parts of the skin. id say you would be better off selling them and have a upholstry shop make you the seat skins you want and install them, it would be about the same price.

I'll make some calls tomorrow, and if there is no way to make it work, or it's extremely expensive to cut and fab them up, i'll sell them and buy corbeau's or have some custom skins made.

There are really no other viable options are there?

Why don't you try to make a pair of the sn197 seats fit in to our year stangs. I haven't done the measuring, but I think it would be something of interest.
