I'm running 04 GT leather seats. Pretty cozy.

Yes, the bolt right up. At least the fronts do. Rears were a little work

Yes like 5l5 said the rears are some work esp in a coupe . I haven't started that project yet. The fronts are a direct fit . And all the power lumber and side bolster adjustments work like factory .

Rear seat does look good when installed. The seat backs in a hatch are easy to do, but the bottom will require some fabrication if you intend to use the seat. The bottom seat pan contours are different so you will need to support the edges.

There are some seats that just don't look that great in our cars IMO. I think the 04's look nice and the old SVO halo style or just plain ole Fox GT style seats look the best. I too have the gangster lean and it's very uncomfortable and about to do the fix very soon for it.

A buddy of mine fixed his with a drill and a bolt. Apparently there is a spot weld that breaks on the frame under the cover. Remove the upper cover and foam, drill a hole, install bolt and nut, recover, rock on.

The 05+ seats look nice. Unfortunately they don't bolt in

I've been wondering about that. Seems like I read something about someone installing fox brackets on those seats and doing it that way. It would be nice to see.

There's a website that's dedicated to this fix where they show how to remove everything, weld up the seat back frame, and reinstall. Very helpful.

I fixed mine a few years back. It did require a little tweaking to get it close to straight again.

The Corbeau seats that I have are very supportive for my bad back I acquired from the military. They hug me like my grandma does!

That was my next choice if I didn't score the Cobras
