The seat in the mustang seems a little worn out already. Doesn't show really good wear and durability!!!

I noticed that too!

Probably just because they let everybody sit in it... but it still shoul hold up. Maybe that's why they didn't want you sitting in the GT

You have to consider that thousands of people have gotten in and out of that car for the past few months. And I am sure that none of them cared how they did it. I am not too worried about it since I will be taking much better care of my car.

That's true. Prolly had kids climbing all over it too. Plus I bet if you did Ford's "Permaplate" thing it would be covered anyhow. Or you could slap so recaros in there.

I feel as though this thread has something to add to the forum in general so I am re-opening it.

cafinecobra, I will keep this simple. Read the forum rules regarding selling items in the forum. This is a formal warning and if the spam continues, you will be banned.

Now, for the seats.

If this is what is going to happen to seats after, say, 3 to 5 years of normal use, count me out. The amount of people climbing in and out of this car is roughly the equivalent of 5 years of actual normal use. If I bought a car that fell apart like this after 5 years, I would absolutely flip out.
