they won't directly bolt up. you'll either need to take the brackets off your existing seats and attach them to the 05 seats, or fab up some custom brackets

I sold a set of them to a customer of mine. He told me it took him a while to think of a way to mount them up. It took him even longer to actually do it. The base of the 05 seats is way different then 79-04 seats. You will need to do some serious fabrication. Those seats are not that cool looking anyways, I would put a set of 01 Cobra or 03-04 Cobra seats in a FOX. They bolt right up and are better looking IMO.

sounds like its too new of an idea, but im sure you'd find someone if this thread stayed bumped for bout a month lol....i agree the 99-04 (especially 03-04 cobra) seats would look real nice.


now i bet someone will post with experience now that i've said that lol
