Those stupid ass rings shouldnt be on there in the first place. Take them off, your seats will look 10x better.

Yeah I took mine off. That should be the first thing to go once you get a mustang. It is the best free mod that there is.

I removed mine after installing a light bar. I had the light bar on for less than 3 hours before a stupid ass friend of mine jumped in, slides the seat all the way back and scratches the bar. Idiot.

But I removed them using a Torx bit, I think it was like a T20 or T25 or something. It's suppose to be an allen wrench. Most instrcutions say to remove the headrest first then remove the guides. I just slid the head rests all the way up then used the torx key to loosen the bolts, about halfway up (The wrench began to hit the head rest) I used my fingers to take the bolts all the way off. It took all of 15 minutes.

I couldnt figure out how to get my headrests off either when I did mine, took me forever with the torx bit and a wrench, I am curious to know how to do that too.

I removed the driver's side today. It was a PITA to get the torx bit under there but I was able to get it and a ratchet under there. I was just able to break them loose and above the plastic. The outside one I was able to use my fingers to loosen it. The inside one I used wire strippers to screw it out. It is so much flatter than pliers and can easily grip the screw. Still have no idea how to get headrest off.

I think it would be easier to just remove the mounting point and twist it to the right position.. I'll do that on my mom's v6 tomorrow..

Maybe I should remove the loop on my vert too. The person who did alignment slide the seat back and scrath the light bar too I cut mine though...

Removed mine after my girls thought they were cool handles to hold onto during hard launches.

Took mine off to. I had a thread about it like a week or so ago. Try to search for it. I just raised the headrests, used a T-27 to break the screw loose, then used a T-20 to give me more room to turn the wrench. Took about 15-20 mins to do both sides. Those screws are LONG!!! They would get loose enough that I could use my hand about halfway through Looks 100% better

Those rings piss me the hell off... I don't know what it is about how I pull my seatbelt out, but I end up making it slide through the little slot and it comes out of them. Unfortunately I need to leave mine there, the seatbelt doesn't fit me right at all without going through the ring.
