Agree!

I like my tan interior in my convertible. Stays pretty cool in the Texas heat, plus my top is tan too, Oxford white car too.

Yours looks to nice to mess with. I've seen some that are just trashed. I'm sure whatever you decide it'll look good.

Mustang5L5 · Jun 26, 2026

You guys saw what i started with right? You should know by now that I don't settle for anything but perfection. So if i go this route, it will look just as good.

Another kinda reason I want to do this. My old 2003GT had dark charcoal interior. This is kinda another nostalgia move for me.

Gonna think about it. But if i'm already mulling it over, it pretty much speaks volumes as to what my desire is

Yep, your mind is already made up! So, that being said, just make sure you document it all here for us to see! I’m itching to tear into mine again, and need some motivation.

I think it's a matter of what pops up on FB marketplace over the next few months. I'm hoping to get most of an interior in a partout. I already have mint front seats

Mustang5L5 · Jun 27, 2026

But onto more important questions

Discovered the front pads in using on my cobra brakes are $10 pads I bought years ago as a mockup. Oops didn’t mean to run those. They lack bite.

So…of these two pads. Which would you run.

AeroCoupe · Jun 27, 2026

I have had great luck with the Z23's on my F150 Super Crews. I don't think they will bite as good as the HPS but my bet is the dust will be a lot lower. If you want them to bite I have some Hawk HP & HP+ for sale in the market place....shameless plug.

Man, I see your struggle - something always feels good about a clean charcoal interior. But I do love a clean tan/saddle interior as well. Feels classy to me.

Mustang5L5 · Jul 6, 2026

$100 local FB marketplace grab.

Still haven’t committed to this, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to grab some parts and start restoring them. Clean up, respray, see how nice I can get panels.

But still on the fence. My interior is mint now. Only way I go forward with this is if I can get an equally mint interior together. If I can’t I’ll just sell this stuff off

Thats an absolute score! Nice find!

Mustang5L5 · Jul 7, 2026

They need a respray at minimum. I think I can work my magic and get them presentable. One door panel may not be up to my standards so I might have to seek out another.

Keeping an eye out for bulk lots on FB. eBay pricing is crazy.

I do have another dash. Did cross my mind to dye it but trying to see if I can score the correct color first.z

Bronco2fan · Jul 7, 2026

What colors are you looking for? I saw a full set on FB Market a few days ago. A SN95 page I'm a member on. Can't remember the color offhand.

Mustang5L5 · Sep 13, 2026

Ended up letting go of my plan to swap the interior. Just too many crap panels locally that folks want top dollar for. Literallly cracks and damage and folks want $200 for a pair of door panels. Nah….

Finally got to swapping the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on. Night and day difference. Long story short the pads that were on my cobra brakes I discovered to be a cheapo pair of $10 pads I bought years ago off Rockauto for mockup duty. Lost track of that fact and slapped them on the GT and man did they have no bite. I had to get into the habit of riding the brake to build heat for a bit before they bit.

Hawk on and bedded and holy the car stops now. Probably going to get the rear pads too.

Convertible styling bar going to be ordered next. Just trying to find the best price on the black one (vs dark charcoal)

I’m 50/50 on if I order a Flowmaster American Thunder cat back for this car. I’d like a little more tone, but I also like how subdued the stock exhaust is. I feel like I can rip on it more without attracting too much attention.

FastDriver · Sep 13, 2026

Function over form, man. just clean the wheels more often.

Noobz347 · Sep 13, 2026

You need this:

It's a game changer for in-car bloomin' onions.

squeak93 · Sep 14, 2026

Look into FP Performance for exhaust if you miss/love the old Mac sound!

Mustang5L5 · Sep 24, 2026

After hemming and hawing for a year or so, finally got the styling bar. I’ve always liked this look since the 90s on the SN95 convertible.

I ended up buying the 94-98 black color bar. Let’s see if I can get it installed this weekend

And digging into it

Glad you decided to stay with Saddle interior.
