I agree on the satin black. Are you in the Sacramento area?

Just a thought:

From the 05-09 threads, I've noticed the guys who swapped manual for power seats at times. I wonder if we could swap over the power (and possibly heat) from a Comfort Package Premium car to a set of either the FRPP Recaros or the V6/GT Recaro seats from 2013. Anyone have any experience on this and care to chime in?

I have a lot of experience w this, you can't change a manual driver seat to power without changing the lower seat cover. Passenger side yes, driver side no

the power seat valance won't cover the hole for the manual height adj

these are both '10+ driver side lower seat covers

So it might be able to be done, but with more parts? Or, would you have to give up something, like height adjustment to maintain the look? I'm just curious if there's some middle ground that can be achieved to do this.

I know the lever for height adjust is pretty big. So, maybe no power, but what about heat? Just pull the covers off, trim back some foam, and lay the heating elements in?

yes that could be done, heat elements can be added to any, you would need to put a switch though since there won't be one on the dash

Not if you were retro fitting them into a car that had the comfort package with the stock seats.

I'm trying to get more info, but I may have found the part numbers for the LED fogs. DR3Z-13466-A. If anyone can confirm/deny, please let me know.

Are you referring to the 2013 LED fogs that could swapped out with the 2012 fogs? That would be nice to swap them.

Yeah. I don't think anyone has a picture of them on yet.

please let me know when these are available (pics/actual item). I would LOVE to switch out the yellow halogen GT fogs on my 2012. I was debating a Saleen grille, but if I can have the LED's in there, I might just keep em.

Also with the recaros I would just wait it out. The 13s have leather recaros that I hope would be power adjustable and hopefully have airbags??? I don't see ford removing airbags from a regular GT...

From what I've heard, they're a good compliment to the HIDs. Apparently, they are very close in color to the LED strips on the headlamps for '13. I don't know what the bulb size or shape is, but I'm trying to get more info on that. I will let you know if/when I have something on them.

Unless I am reading some of the posts incorrectly about not being able to make the Recaros power ------- I know some have added the power from stock seats to the Recaros....................scroll about half way down to see it being done.
