    S197 Seats in a New Edge

    One of my future mods for my 04 is to replace the seats with better ones. The present leather seats are good but are not made for tall people. The seat bottom and back are too small for my large frame. I could get a severe whiplash if I get into an accident. I've seen that some have replaced the seats with ones from S197 Mustangs like gsoukaris did and it looks amazing. I'd like your opinions as to which years are best for the swap. I'd like to keep the seats in leather and medium graphite.

    Lots of articles on the web about swapping, seems it's easier done vs what I'd have thought.

    Thanks for the pic Rick. I've read a bunch of articles but none have indicated which years are best for the swap.

    I like my racing seats. Got them mounted nice and low and with my flat bottom steering wheel my knees finally don't hit the wheel.

    The seats are medium graphite with no cracks. Don't know when I'll be doing the swap.

    I'd like to keep the interior as "stock looking" as possible hence my search for leather, medium graphite S197 seats.

    Fair, but I always found that the stock interior of the New Edge cars was too sedate and more fitting of a crown vic than a Mustang. Seats/steering wheel and other interior mods made it a lot sportier and modern IMO
