I have the rough black and blue. I took the front seats apart. Made it pretty easy.

Ill probably do the same. Did your seats have factory airbags? I dont think mine does but i couldnt check cause its at the painters.

nope, I did not have factory airbags. i didnt use hog rings either, I just used zip ties. only because I didnt have the tool and didnt want to buy one.

Why is the passenger set cover so bunched up and wrinkled next to the console??

the padding that comes with the seat inserts is bigger, I tried everything to fix it.

its kind of mashing against the console area.

Those blue inserts look great with you car. Nice.

Op post up pics of your yellow's when you get them in.

will do. fedex shows they should be here on the 2nd but they dont deliver on saturday so they probably wont show till monday which means it'll be next weekend for the install.

ordered hog ring pliers through NAPA they will be here tomorrow but they didnt have hog rings so now i have to hunt them down.

I've reupholstered mine with leather, it's a royal PITA but well worth it. This video helped immensely [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGDQC-8byGw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGDQC-8byGw[/URL]

makes it look easy.lol

I got those same seats (for half that price lol) and it was a royal PITA. Use lots of heat, time, and patience. I had side air bags but didnt really have an issue with them. The hardest part is putting on the hog clips. But if you put everything into it and take your time it will be worth it.

I was watching some of those Roush sets on ebay and then they suddenly ran out of everything except the yellow. So I am kicking myself for waiting as all that regularly pops up for convertibles now are the Blackjack covers... which are nice, but a bit pricey as the lowest they will go on a "Best offer" is like $750 shipped. Once I get the auto conversion done, I may pick up a set.

son of a bitch the passenger seat whipped my ass.
they came in today so i figured i'd do the back seats to get a jump start on it. i got those done and thought might as well do the passenger seat. that damn new foam is THICK.

and the damn headrest dont fit the GT's headrest foam so i just cut my foam down cause i couldnt find any roush headrest for sale, i did email roush to see if they sell any.


hey lostsoul, i read in your thread that roush said you could steam them. wonder if that would hurt anything? kind of afraid to throw a steamer on them.

im thinking of putting the black leather covers i took off on ebay or maybe on here. they are in great shape. anyone have an idea what i could get for them?
