thanks, i bought the covers off a friend who bought them for his car but ended up selling his car before he used them. (kinda confusing lol) I got them for 200, lmr sells them for 350. Then i had this realy repulatable shop by my house install them, cost 500, they also replaced my electric seat rack because it was broken.
ford1991mustang, i looked all over and even called dealerships but the ford dealers wanted something crazy like 800 for one seat cover and no one that I found sells the fronts separately. 300-350 is probably the cheapest your fronts will cost you, for that price you could buy the seat cover kit like i did, or get some racing seats from summit.

Did you paint the interior panels black or are they still red? If you have not done it I STRONGLY recommend SEM Trim Black, great paint.

umm...you can see the interior panels, they are grey. is that what you mean?
i'm going to try and get new seat belts. the counter weight system and the retraction deal in the seatbelt is kind of F'd up. sometimes it doesnt want to retract and soemtimes it doesnt want to unlock itself
the door panels are kind of F'd so i'm going to buy some ABS board and make some new ones so i can attach my speaker covers. the current ones are all shredded and destroyed.
