RetroGT2006s Interior Swap

[Alter Ego Trip]

That's what people on the forum claimed, but they've never done it so they can't say. The Ford dealership I bought it from said they fit and as I already found out, they do. more pix tomorrow, but it'll be on my digital cam, not my phone.

OK, bear with me but I'm still not seeing how the back seats will work. Here's a pic of the 11's. Those don't look anything like the 10 and older rear seats. I don't see how that could even begin to work.

Alter, I agree.. when I bought them/ received them they were labeled 11 seats. I noticed the big difference when I did a search online.. so yeah I guess these r 2010.

OK, good to know. I think I'll give Ford a call tomorrow and see how much they will charge me. There's a new 10 set on ebay right now, but it's a 335.00 shipped with some time to go.

Probably an arm and a leg.. Ford wanted to charge me $455 for just all black carpet, not including floormats... I went through Boozshey aka Bruce for the carpet n floormats out of the gt500 and he got me a deal. I bought the seat covers from ford but it was like a liquidation sale.

How hard was the swap? It looks like there are just plastic clips, no hog rings? I bought a set of takeoff 2010 GT500 covers and I hate my 2 tone C/S covers. I should probably wait until summer so I can bake them in the sun, but staring at them sitting on the shelf is murder.

Eric i say just do them! I did mine when it was in the 20s and it was a high of 50s for a good week or so after.. As for how hard it was, it really took some effort, i had never done anything like it but boy did i cut my hands and arms up quite a bit lol. I constantly found myself fighting to get the stuff on. doing the carpet, and rear seats on one day was easy as hell. The fronts took some serious effort to make everything line up and what not. No there are plastic clips and hog rings... Mine had a lot of um lol.

Well, thanks to you I just broke down and bought a set off ebay. Ebony ones off a 2010. I love my red, but it's time for a change. Paid 334.00 shipped NIB. Figure I can sell mine which are like new, and recoup a few bucks.

Glad i can help spend some of your $ bro! I expect to see some before and afters!! See i posted up my whole stock interior for cheap but noone wants it i guess.

OK, my turn to spend your money, lol.

I also just got done installing my TCI a few days ago. Other than the freaking PITA trans clip which I couldn't get off to save my life, it went pretty smooth. Huge improvement over that cheesy factory plastic one Ford sticks us with.

dang Alter i bet some red leather would look good in my white car haha

It sure would, wink wink.

I'll probably kick myself for changing it out; same as my Cervinis kit and Vortech I sold, lol.

That's the problem with having your car parked for 5 months at a shot, you get bored and need something to work on.

My other reason for changing it is; I'm looking at doing something wild with a center stripe this go around. I did dual gray ones last time. Now I'm thinking about a wide center with 2 chasers, maybe in a copper color. I thought it would clash with the interior.

 

[calispecial08]

dang!!! that would look friggggen' bad A!

I do want the TCI shifter! =/. Same with 99-04 black saleens (i'm getting brembos real soon)... At this rate, i'll never finish my turbo build!

 

[Alter Ego Trip]

Yup. I'm trying like hell to not add up all the money I've spend, and have yet to spend, on this current go around.

When I bought the car, I convinced the wife I'd leave it alone, lulz. I need to take up a cheaper hobby. Between HT, the Mustang, and fishing; I'm freaking broke. I hear basket weaving's nice.

Hahaha, when i got this car 4+ years ago (18years old) i was so stoked my dad was helping me out by taking the loan out in his name and what not i said "I'm so happy dad, i just want it please!! I'll leave it alone i promise." As i sat in the car on the showroom floor! I was a .. He still throws that in my face till this day when he sees i bought something else.. hahaha I said your an idiot if you really think i could leave my most prized possession alone. I had always wanted one and now that i got it i can't leave it alone. As for hobbies, i used to skateboard- i need to get back into it i think lol..

 

[calispecial08]

Luckily *Knock on wood* i have never broken a bone in my body from skateboarding. With all the huge ramps, skateboarding off 2nd story roofs, gaps, jumping the 10 stair etc i never broke anything besides my decks. Granted i got nasty gashes, stitches, sprained ankles, arm- nothing a splint couldn't fix though. Looking back growing up with my boy Kel, we used to skate all the time, buy new parts when we broke stuff etc. Every saturday we would spend the whole day street skating, we build ramps, boxes, bought rails etc. We would order pizza and just skate sun up to sun down. Always good times. Alright done rambling.

 

[RetroGT2006]

Bump, make an offer before i throw it out.

 

[NotQuik]

what are you throwing out?

I finally did my front seats last week and they came out fine, it was just timing consuming and me being sick didn't help but i'm too damn impatient to wait any longer.

Nothing now. I threw out my stock carpet and just sold off the rest of the interior on the forum.
