If I buy a base model gt will you be able to buy these seats and boss steering wheel from parts dept? That fabric looks awesome!

 

Hopefully not, keep it exclusive to the boss please. plus you can buy recaro's anywhere.

 

Hopefully so, at least for the steering wheel.

You might, but they'll cost big money. Might want to consider a set of GT500 Recaros, which will be leather.

 

Or not.

 

You can bet that the guys on Team Mustang would love to keep the "Boss" stuff exclusive to the Boss Mustang only but good luck with that one. The boys over at Ford Racing will be making a HUGE case for being able to sell it all through the Ford Racing catalog. My guess is that only the VIN number will be a distinguishing factor whether you have a "true" Boss or not.

 

Sure, the Alcantara looks good, but if you want the seats, I was giving him a more readily available suggestion.

 

God I hope I don't start seeing GT's with boss parts around, I already get sick of the GT's with cobra badges don't do it! lol

 

Well, if Ford would properly bolster the seats in the Mustang to match even the most entry level sporting cars from other manufacturers I could see people not caring about the Recaros. I'd look in to buying either the Boss or GT500 seats if I had the car. I wouldn't want them to say BOSS or have the Cobra logo but if that's the case I would probably look elsewhere. I don't like mix and matching parts, plus I do love the Saddle leather as well. Either way, I'd be nice to see a better seat in the Mustang. My Si has better standard seats.

 

I'm sure Ford will have a version of the Boss seat. It'll probably be all cloth and have a running pony logo where the Boss 302 lettering is. But I'm just guessing.

They know people will want the seats for GT's and even V6's so why not meet the demand with a little supply. Just not the exact Boss seat.

 

I said something in another thread: If the GT500 seats have a Cobra on them, I won't get them. I don't want to ***** parts out if they've got specific badges on them.

That said, if FRPP offered a seat upgrade for owners, I'd be all over it. I just don't want the badging on them that might come from a Boss/GT500 seat.

 

After watching the new Boss 302 as the pace car in tonight's Nationwide race at Homestead, I don't think I want ANYTHING off that car....and it was red, the least ugly color on it. I had a new '70 Mach 1, and always envied the Boss 302 owners back then......but not now !

 

I thought that looked like a CS. But you're right it had that C stripe. I don't care for the stripe.

 

I'd like to have that quad exhaust off the Boss, at a reasonable price.

 

A part like quad exhaust is one thing, but the logo is another. I don't feel it does the name justice to pose a car as something other than what it was built as. I mean we all know how we feel when we see a 2003/4 Mustang pimped out in Cobra badges like a Terminator then hear the engine and note that it's a V6. I mean take any part you want to put on your car, just make sure it doesn't have the Boss 302 logo prominently displayed on it if it isn't a Boss 302.

 

I definitely agree. IMO FRPP should offer the Boss Recaro seats without the Boss lettering on them, no lettering at all would be fine, or something tasteful like the running pony or Mustang script, and charge $2000 for the pair, and have them come complete with brackets and whatever is needed for the airbag light to stay off.

 

I say go for it. This isn't a Ferrari, it's a mass produced, reasonably priced RWD V8 vehicle. Mustang's legacy and spirit lies in "raiding the parts bin", not trying to be exclusive or exclude anyone.

Now badge mixing can be confusing that's for sure, and I'm perfectly happy with my 5.0s and running ponies. But if you want the seats, and they are made available, you should get the seats

 

+1. ^^ Thank you. ^^

 

How about the engine? The adjustable dampers?

 

It didn't work for the GT500KR, I'm sure it won't work for the Boss.



Hell, the 00R Recaros were available through the FRPP catalog, and they only made 300 of those cars.




I can see Ford recouping some of their investment by offering them for sale. What logo? Who knows.
