I like the OEM look so I'd suggest a newer Mustang's seats, their frames were built much better, they won't bend like the older ones. I put 98 Mustang GT Conv. seats in mine, looks deadly.

I took out out my drivers seat and straightened the frame( no ghetto lean). Then I weled the frame where it had cracked , and then i braced the frame from corner to corner!! Never gonna lean or break again!! Didn't cost me nothing since I did it at work!!! And my seat was in great condition appearance wise anyways !! Summit Racing has some seats for pretty cheap , dont know how comfortable though.

yep, the only mod I did was I cut the electrical connector off both seats (power seats) and put the one from the 92 on the 98 seats so the seats can be removed without a hitch. And that's what? a 2 minute mod?

I took some earlier but my camera is on the fritz, I'll go try again. They aren't in the car right now, as I have no interior in my car.

ive had a few differant aftermarket seats none have been as comfortable as the oem seats the only reason i got rid of them is they were fading badly and a guy from work offerd me $80 for them.

Here you go, camera decided to work, not very good quality as it was done with my POS webcam and had to set it on top of the freezer to get it closer to the light. And yes, I do have both of them just too lazy to grab the other.

They're sexy, they look almost like the original GT seats from 87-93, but are way more comfortable and last way longer.
