FordFan1 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I Found out today that the FRPP dealer cost is $2100, so now you know what kind of margins they are working on. My FRPP pimp told me he would hook me up with a set for $150 over cost. Then I have the expiense of modify the bottom cushions to accept 5-point harnesses SO I maybe selling off my Recaro soon ---------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackMustang Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Now maybe I'll start looking for a power rack for the pass. side. Is there a passenger power seat option in any 2010-2013 Mustang (V-6, GT, etc)? Because *generally*, they use the same harness on ALL cars of the same year/body style but just leave the extra plugs hanging there. I say, *generally*... Hmmmmm, Phill Yes, GT's/V6's with the Comfort Package have a power passenger seat. Cost me an extra $1400 to get the power pass. seat and heated seats....both things my wife wanted. I'm not a fan of the swamp ass that the heated seats cause so I never use them. But my wife can barely see over the dash in the standard pass. seat. It was a little funny to see her riding shotgun in the GT500....she looked like a little kid. So, yes. You can get a power pass. seat rack. Those seats look awesome! Those are going on my wishlist for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My FRPP pimp told me he would hook me up with a set for $150 over cost. That explains Tousley's price. They sell all Ford Racing parts for 10% over cost, or $200 over cost, whichever is less. 10% is $210.oo so they're selling them for $2300, which is $200 over cost. They also give you free shipping and no sales tax so it *might* be less expensive for you to get them from Tousley than pay $2250 for them from your guy. A pair of them are *definately* on my "want list" now... Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm not so sure about that Phill. http://www.svtperfor...other-mods.html I'm not sure what you're saying. The thread shows a early model ('07-'09) car with late model ('10-'12) SRS seats in it. Which is what I said you can do, install a set of LM seats in a EM car, but the SRS won't work (no connection as prior years didn't have SRS side bags). What am I missing?

Which is what I said you can do, install a set of LM seats in a EM car, but the SRS won't work (no connection as prior years didn't have SRS side bags). Here's the relevant data taken directly from my 2009 owner's manual... You'll find the same data in your 2010 owners manual (try here on pages 138-139).

03 DSG Snake Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I imagine the seats with airbags will work in the 05-09 SGT and GT500s, but rumor is the plug might be different. Source the correct plug and adjust the wires accordingly one would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFan1 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not truely plug and play but should be easy enough to convert- The passanger front air bag sensor plug-in is the same but the pins are in differant locations, the driver side has a different style plug but will be converted once I get my hands on a wiring schematic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecrissman Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Love the seats, but I can tell you from owning them if you are a bigger guy they are tight. I am not even talking about being fat I am 6'2" and proportional and its snug, the side bolsters hug your thighs and put a serious tar-baush on your sack.

FordFan1 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have discovered the only way to make them work correctly is to disassemble the bottom seat cushion and swap out the sealed pressure module & bag assembly and all the wiring/electronics from my '08 into the 2011/12 seats. There are to many differances that will not allow them to be compatible without swapping out all the components. More to come- I may have discovered another option for my use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKE Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Wow ... sounds like a lot of work, shame it's not as simple as a 'plug and play' swap. But, they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFly03 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wonder how different the 2010 pinning is compared to the '11-12. I've been thinking about a pair of these for my '10 GT500. They look... quite frankly... bad ass. Also helps I like suede over leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Wonder how different the 2010 pinning is compared to the '11-12. I was under the impression that the '10 is the same as the '11-'12. I think Ford Racing has them listed as '11 & '12 because that's all they came in. They weren't available in the 2010 MY. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFan1 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Any updates as I would like see more about how you completed the retro fit? Went another direction but that failed. Only option I see is what I mentioned in Post #50. At this point I'm not going to worry about, it tiime now to enjoy my car, maybe next winter I will take the seats to an upholstery shop to have everything swapped over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTOGreg Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 So the FRPP seats are cloth. Does anyone know if the cloth can be removed and a set of leather Recaro take-offs installed?? I was speaking with Steve @ Tousley re: this topic on TH and he was pretty certain the bolster and everything is the same and that you could swap the skins. I just got a PM about a set of factory seats with the white stripes o plan to go that route unless something falls through. That said, I prefer the suede of the FRPP seats...could always skin them later I suppose, they're going to get worn if tracked anyway...more decisions. Skins pop up on the bay for anywhere from $300 to $800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
