Or maybe not.
I am not saying that you are not a "true" convertible owner, but I really believe I am. Just out of curiosity, why is it ok to have a windscreen on a BMW but not a mustang? The functionality of the windscreen is phenomenal. I drive with the top down as much as humanly possible. The windscreen allows you to drive in MUCH colder weather and it also makes the ladies VERY happy! So, like it or not, it is the most functional aftermarket part I have on my Mustang convertible and I will NEVER own another convertible without one!

I appreciate your honesty.....really I do....your couple of posts made me laugh. The beauty of this country is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I like to hear others opinions as well. My feelings are very hard to hurt.

Ok if your in the car and driving with the top up and I see the headrests I would not think anything and say sweet ride man! Overall the whole car looks great but with the headrest covers visible along with the rest of the car with the top down it just doesn't work for me....do I hate it ....no would I remove them....yes.....but thats JMO. Love the body color mirrors...are they covers or painted? regardless very nice!

That all makes perfect sense and thanks for the props on my ride! The mirrors are OE painted mirrors.

Trust me. I understand wind, cold and tolerance for both. As far as the ladies go -- either one of us would be the richest man on Earth if we figured them out.
My Harley friends gave me a giant rash of pooh for buying a car (first one in about 14 years). They're still my friends and ridin' buddies, but I do what I want. As well as you do too, my friend. I guess the wind screen just reminds me of a windshield on a bike. I'd rather drive a car. Plenty of guys I know have windshields and I give them crap about it.
Having looked at your pics again, I still believe the black boot would be a tremendous plus. One other thought might be to embroider a pony or Mustang insignia on the front and/or back of the headrests. Maybe not a full embroidery but an outline. It might be cheaper than black accents on the seats.
No malice intended. I think we're all friends here.
Tell the gals who want more turbulence where to find me.

I dont think you will have to look hard at what did, but I figured I would not say right off the bat for the heck of it. What ever you think, you will not hurt my feelings
Still cant figure out what the 'these' are that you are refering to.
I didnt read the other replies so as to not be biased with my opinion.
But those headrests are the wrong color and the Blue Ford Oval
center caps look out of place on those fanblades. GT rims with
V6 centercaps? Too each his own.....
