hi guys! changed out old faded red seats over to leather seats. what do you think? before the insides were too red. simple job, just bolted them down. all power adjustment still work and i got power lumbar to boot:D
Nice seats !!! I like them,but take those god-for-saken emblems off of the dash. They really mess up the look of an otherwise great looking interior. The ricer emblem stick-on look just doesn't work well with these cars. Nice seats though.
Looks nice.... add the upper door panels and I think it will look like it could have come that way.
Shiny Side Up!

You need more red in there now...:D
anybody got the matching upper door panels? sorry about my sport emblem, it covered a boo boo on the dash:D i guess i better keep the ricer stuff to the stealth:hick:
The 5. 0 badge pushes it some , but the sport is not bad
No,the Sport badge is bad as well.
I have to agree.... It's way to much
I personally never liked redundant badges......meaning,like the gauge cluster in the pic above,placing a big chrome Bird on the cluster when there's already a Thunderbird emblem on the steering wheel.Too much. Almost like you found a box of emblems and some double sided tape and was REALLY bored. Now,after saying that,I also have to say,that,it is your car,and your decision. Personally, If I go a little "too far",I HOPE that my fellow enthusiasts here will call me on it.Sometimes it's good to have outside opinions,because we often don't see what others can see. To summarize......the badges have to go.
I actually took all mine off. The only thing going back on, are the emblems by the quarter windows.
I was trying to be nice :hick:
I removed the factory "Thunderbird" script from the trunk and added a new one from a 2005 model Bird.The sail panels have the factory installed Birds,then,the small Hurst Equipped badge.....because it is.....Hurst equipped. Looks factory installed. Because the dash is in a contained area,and the flat surfaces aren't that big,big badges look even larger,and more out of place.
Me too. We're all in it together,and good or bad,we stick together for the most part.I am always proud of my two best friends locally.Brutally honest,and I appreciate that.
I actually removed 5.0 emblems from my fenders , I was thinking about putting 2 small LX emblems in their place . but I will mock it up and see what everybody else thinks first now :D
Honestly,I may have passed on my opinions more than I should have. In the end,the car has to be what you want it to be,not any other way. If it looks god to you,then it is just that,good for you.I built my Sport the way I wanted it,no-one else.I'm sure there's quite a few things I've done with the Sport that other's don't really care for,but I like it,so,do it your way.I respect the way others do their cars,even if it's not how I would do it.Make it your own,but you still have to show pics (local rule on the forum).LOL.
Is that the factory leather on those seats? If so it's a nice score:D
yep, the guy i bought them from said they came out of a low mile t.c. he wrecked. nice shape, i gave him $150 for both front seats and rear bench. o.k. guys ill stop decorating my sport like a christmas tree:D i guess the flaming bunny ghost stripes are out then :mad:
Hey Dwight, I agree with Vinnie. It's your car do it to your liking because you're the one who has to be happy with it. I'm sure there are things about my car people don't like but I did it to my taste. And the seats do looks good. I'm still looking for a better back seat for mine. Keep it up though and you'll get it to were you want it, I've had mine for 20 years and I still have things I want to do to it.
thanks jay. i had a 72 torino about 10 years ago. the car was plum crazy purple, and had a totally diffrent rear end. the guy who had it before me put 68 cougar tail lights on it mounting them at a slant. car look like it had cat eyes:D some people loved it...others thought it looked cool! its your ride make it your own. but..vinnie was right i got a little carried away with the rice! i value other peoples oppinion.
I agree, constructive critizisim can be a good thing.
Where are you guys finding all the good gray leather seats...:bowdown::bowdown:
i found mine right on craigslist. the guy bought them for a gt mustang convertable project. found out the leather got a little too hot on the behind:shakeass: ive got the moonroof so i just pull back the shade:D
