recaro seats and pony projector lights possible?

I am looking at a 2014 mustang gt but it has the recaro seats, I didn't notice but does it come with the pony projector lights or you need the base leather seats to get the comfort package which includes the pony projector lights? Also, if the lights are not included, does it included heated mirrors?

Comfort Package = Heated seats/mirrors and the Pony lamps. You can't get it with the Recaros. That being said, it's really easy to order the mirrors and just plug them in, as a few guys on here have done.

Are you looking for a comfort show pony or best performance?

Recaro's are for performance, although IMO, the leather sucks on them, takes away from the butt grip of the seats.

They really should've just added the suede inserts from the Boss/Shelby on the GT Recaros

I agree. I sat in a few Recaro's, and at best I feel it's more of a gemmick if your not using them for what they are designed for. For DD, and cruising the standard seats are fine. However, this statement is no way intended to say don't get them if you want them. It's just my opinion, and we know what they say about opinions. You dough, your car, and you should buy what you want.

But, if you want the pony projectors they only come with the comfort package.

I wouldn't agree with this all the way.

Yes, the main benefits of recaros are at the track. I don't have to brace myself with my knees when taking fast corners at the track.

But they are surprisingly comfortable on long drives too. I was afraid my wife was going to hate them, but when we took an 8h road trip to DC last year she loved how comfortable they were. They give you plenty of support and "hug" you in place.

My only negative thing to say is that it makes the car harder to get in/out of. You have to lift yourself over the side bolster, and can't just slide out of your sit. But then again, that's by design.
