I see..... so I lose my power adjustability... I might be willing to live with that. But the 3k cost... that hurts.

That's 1/2 the cost of a Ford Whipple.

 

Another side question on these Recaro seats.... our standard 2012 leather seats on a GT Premium have seat airbags right? Do these Recaros have them too? Or how will it prevent error codes being thrown out???

 

3k!! dang you could buy real race seats for that

 

I believe they have side airbags. If not, you could fab up a resistor with equal resistance to the airbag to 'dupe' the system into thinking they're still attached.

 

I don't see any airbag label on the sides like the stockers have. So I'm thinking that they don't have side airbags.

 

The seats look identical to the Boss / GT500 recaros. For $3000, they'd better include the airbags?

 

^ x2.

I think I might be sticking to a GT500 spoiler and FRPP tune for my next mods. Seats can wait

 

I've been wondering about this but there is no mention of airbags. Could you remove the airbag from the stock seats and place them in the Recaro's if they don't come included (if wired for them)? Maybe they are different but it would be nice to know what the options are. Your insurance company won't be too happy if you remove airbags from your car.

 

So don't mention it to your insurance company, problem solved.

 

Until you get into an accident and someone gets hurt.

 

i don't believe side airbags are mandatory... only 2, front driver & passenger

 

I didn't say they are mandatory although there is a certain level of side protection required in vehicles and manufacturers use side airbags to meet that requirement. Regardless, if your vehicle came with side airbags and you disable or take them out and someone gets hurt good luck with that persons attorney and your insurance company.

 

05-14 was designed with optional side airbags, that ford made standard in 08, the greenhouse doesn't require them to meet safety standards

 

That's not the point. It's not about what is required, it's about what came with the car at the time of insurance issuance.

The insurance company insured the car under the impression that it had side airbags. If you remove these by putting in aftermarket seats, you can be liable to have your coverage pulled because you changed the safety features of the car without notifying the insurer.

 

I wonder if the deck lid panel could be wrapped in a matte black to match what's on the Boss. I really don't like the silver dome the faux gas cap sits on and this would clean up the look a lot.

 

Well I can't speak for other states but here in NY the insurance co. only acknowledges the 2 front airbags (and not the sides) in my 2010

 

Interesting.... in this pic, that kink on the 2012 with the 2013 lights doesn't look tooooooo bad. No need to do a complete rear redo...

 

Please delete, double post

 

is it me or does it look like it has 18s on the rear and 19s on the front??

I'm actually thinking about putting 11-12 taillights on the 13 model if i happen to not like the 13 model that much. and not sure if the taillights shiny black panel can be removed or if its painted onto a trunk, by that needs to be satin black, not shiny black.

 

I think there was a thread floatin around explainin this pic. I think it was Roush racing that did this? Time to go lurking till i find it -_-
