Regular vs gt500 seats
Does anybody know if the seats for a regular GT are the same as the seats for the GT500. There is a guy on craigslist selling a set of leather take offs from his 2013 GT500 and I was wondering if they would work to replace the cloth in my 2014 GT. I know the GT500 has the super snake logo but I think I can live with that for the perforated leather inserts. The perforated leather I think would be nice to have in the south.

You'd have to check with folks that have done this swap but I remember reading that the rear seats were slightly different. Maybe get portfolio is someone you could im. I think it's the rear seat base that is slightly loose but I didn't look bad at all in pics.

For anyone in the future looking for this information... The 2013 and 2014 GT and GT500 base sport style seats are the same in the front and on the back support for the rear seat. The bottom of the back seat on the GT500 has a little extra foam where the back of your knees touch. I know this to be fact now! I spent about 6 hours yesterday recovering all of my seats with take off leather from at GT500, black on black with perforated leather! Anybody thinking about doing this mod should do it immediately, it is amazing! Will post pictures later when it stops raining.

It looks awesome, only down side was the plastic headrest guide on the driver seat broke when I was reinstalling it, but it was an $8.60 part so I am waiting for it to get here. When it gets her I will post pictues. Also got a couple of pretty rough cuts when the gloves were off. Overall completely worth it!

Btw that loose area in the back where your knee back touches drives me crazy. I thought Ford cheapened out on the V6 but soon found out that this is common on all cars.

The real problem lies with 11-12 cars and when the headrests changed. You're fine tho. Post pics if you get them.

I still love the seats too, would go through the cuts and sore hands all over again to see these seats in my car!

I agree that looks good, and you did a good job. How difficult was that to do, removing the old and putting the new on?

If you are planning on doing this mod then I would suggest finding the video from motorz, they do a pretty good explanation.
