Stupid GT seats

Yah, so i was detailing the interior today and noticed that the leather on the drivers seat is getting pretty worn.
I got under 7,000 miles on the odometer.

WTF?

that sure diddnt take long.

Any reccommendations on replacement seats?

They just look worn but the wont crack for MANY MANY miles probably around 100-200k miles so I wouldnt worry about it untill they actually crack

I agree they are just temporary seats for use untill you can order a set of Recaro's :toothy9:

i would say either get them reupholstered or pick up a set of cobra seats, unless you want to go with some recaro's or similar racing seats.

Yeah, 04 GT with under 7k miles. For the first 4-5 months it parked in the driveway untill u could get my hottub moved to the backyard, then the stang has been in the garage ever since, Also, i have a parking garage at my work i park under, plus tinted windows.

It just loosk funky, the only part that is having issues is the driver side seat next to the door where the seat extends out a little to hold you in place. That spot right there isnt cracked, but the leather looks exteremly worn compared to the rest of the seats. i just noticed it the other day when i was detailing my car's interior.

i might have just gotten a crap seat, the rest of the drivers seat is fine, but it looks very worn, and there is one tiny spot almost the size of half a grain of rice that you can see what looks like the yellow padding behind.

it is probably just a flawed seat.

The more i think about it, the more i think the seat is just one that was a bum seat. probably a flaw in the leather they diddnt catch. im just 6.0 and 200lbs
