Thinking this is my first comment but subscriber for awhile. Eastern North Carolina here and Reef Blue notch. You are the most relatable down-to-earth dude for regular guys who just can't always spend the dime like some others. There's no hate for that because whenever I do have it I spend it. Can't hate on others positions in life. I just work with what i got.You are the embodiment of that. your mechanical/technical and all around personality/ people skills are what drew me to link up with this channel. I've Always been impressed by your willingness and ability to just jump in there and tackle every part of the project. That is a car dude in-and-out 100%. You are not only cool as shit but a huge wealth of knowledge as well as inspiration.. Keep it up brother
Bro u have the best fox body channel on TH-cam!!! It's great how u explain things for people like myself who don't have the knowledge of mustangs and make it understanding without making fun cuz we don't know!! I hate people like that!! Ur a good feller man keep it up!!!
Those seats are slick. you just save me some money I was going to get reupholstery kit and foam on top of the driver seat I still had to buy. Thanks brew2l you are the man.
Great video BREW2L, man those are some nice looking seats, and to be honest the original seats in my 92 5.0 lx I didn't think were the best made anyway, the 85 GT had better seats than the 92. I think those Resto seats look better, I sure they feel better too.
Seats are definitely already on my list but might be moving them a little further up now. Just on screen they look more comfortable than factory seats. They might be pricey but for the ease of installation you can't beat that.🤙
Thank u I wanted you know what they looked like so I ordered the LMR acme upholstery and new foams and everything they have to restore the seats and I'm so happy with the results and I did it myself well worth it 👌 thank u u motivated me to do this
Nothing beats the original, Smoke Grey Tweed seats imo. Mine are still in great shape for being 34 years old. That said, these look like a good replacement option, *shrugs*
I am just curious if you would be able to buy the upholstery kit from LMR and then make these look OEM? I’m gonna call them tomorrow and find out! Can’t find any seats out in Dallas, Texas.
They look good for the price. Like you said, Brew2l… by the time you add up buying a pair of shot seats, then foam, then upholstery, then labor, you’re looking at $1k-$1200 easy, and they’ll look just like that anyways. Might as well save some coin, time, and hassle and just get these 👍
What is the bottom bolster width vs the factory adjustable one's? as for tmi or acme I all ways get the vinyl. its much closer to the factory look vs the fabric. The one set I did in black tweed acme was pretty close to factory, no one has gray any where close. Acme isn't perfect but better then tmi and most that saw it couldn't tell on the black tweed. I still have an Acme black vinyl coupe set I got dirt cheap on clearance but need to find some 87-89 gt front seats to use it. I like the vinyl better for some reason, even back in the 90's when i had 93 opal seats out of a cobra in my coupe and had a local shop match the rear seat back.
Damn, I remember watching the video of you installing those 06 seats thinking I need to do that....now iam watching this video thinking the same thing, smh but good video Brew2l!!
Nice review. Those do look pretty good. I lucked out about 2 years ago and found some 03-04 Mach 1 seats, leather with the power driver in mint shape. Best looking and feeling seat I’ve ever had in my Fox.
I bought these right when they came out at the end of last year. I loved them but I wish it had the little lever in the back so anyone in the back can get out though. Not a deal breaker but would've been nice.
I have a 93 Cobra with factory opal gray leather seats. I got a quote to reupholster with vinyl seats for $1500. I decided I can live with a small tear on the drivers seat and save my money.
The black ones look great and look perfect in the retro fox. The gray ones not so much. They look too light gray. I'm curious how they hold up. Are they light because the frame is thin and they bend?
I've been pricing good used seats(from some well known foxbody salvage yards) and they cost as much as the new LMR seats. May as well get the new seats in my opinion. As you say, seats can make or break a car as far as driving experience.
Im looking to buy either theses seats or corbeau gts2 ….. which is more comfortable? I know the calypso has corbeaus in it. Any input would be great! Jason
LMR is fantastic to deal with and I buy a lot of parts from them and really appreciate them for Mustang and Lightning projects. As far as these seats go, they just aren't for me. The real tweed looks and feels so much better. If I bought a car that had these seats, I would sell them. I truly beleive that they will get better with time.
Upholstery definitely worked out for me on a 93 coupe a lot cheaper changed out the electrical seat track because had that nasty gangster lean with lmr stock track for stock seats worked out perfect if you got the money to upgrade definitely worth it
Dude, I got a quote for my 89 seats to be reupholstered...$800 PER seat! Yeah these are better I like the way they look in person the photos on LMR don't do them justice
That's the same seats that Caleb put into project 4to8 isn't it? Actually if I put some different seats in my car and I have already modded the engine, suspension, body, and some of the interior, I would want the seats to look a little different as well so that it goes smoothly with all of the other upgrades and mods that I done because if they look exactly stock with everything else changed it is going to look like i cheaped out on the seats so a little difference in the look of the seats is a good thing
They may not be exact replicas but they look a million times better and make the whole car look a million times better than those fugly modern seats. Excellent upgrade!
Seats look good. I like having that option. Side question, do you still like the corbeau seats in the clone? I've got porno red interior and considering a modern seat, not sure on color or type yet.
Are the 2006 seats available? If so would you sell them or raffle them off? If not is there a way you could make a video covering what all you had to do to mate the seats with the fox tracks because I'm taller being 6'1" and that seat sitting lower in the car would be PERFECT for me.....right now i have SN95 seats in my 92GT that were in it when i bought my car and i don't like the way i sit in the car and also my passenger always complains as well being the seat is too close to the dash. I have deleted the rear seat as it is a cleaner look and down the road I'm going to use that space under the delete panel for possible battery relocation and a add on fuse block but other then that i have been searching for a set of front seats as I'm on a budget and really seein how those 2006 seats sit height wise i believe they would work great!
@@BREW2LFOXBODY fair enough thank you for the response. One quick question, did those 2006 seats hook up to the power on the drivers side? Thats another issue with mine is the SN95 had a power driver seat so i switched them side to side to get the car home when i bought it(passenger was on manual tracks) and never got around to doing anything about it and thats why the passenger always complains they are too close to the dash!
I like the seats but unfortunately they don’t work for someone with a 2 tone or scarlet red interior. This is something I’ve been debating since I got my car, unfortunately I will have to deal with having a passenger seat in my drivers side (bought the car like that) till I can find something that will work.
I bought that exact set of seats. I was very dissatisfied. Put my head too close to the roof. I’m not very tall...5’10” Also when sitting in the driver seat it felt like the back of the seat was going to bend or snap and put me in the backseat. Like the adjustment lever gear was weak. In fact the frame of the seat bent while I was trying to adjust my self in the seat. Was very dissatisfied by LMR made it right and let me send them back for something else
I hate crap like that. I wonder what the likely hood is LMR "straightened" it probably by jumping on it and will re-send them out to some unsuspecting buyer.
A thought: If there is a Foxbody Hall of Fame somewhere Brew needs to be honored and celebrated there. Perhaps a statue or some other artifact to honor this man. He works harder at this Foxbody stuff than I do at getting a shot of leg. Total respect to Brew from the peanut gallery.
Looking great Brew2l 🙌🏼 thank you for the review!
Yes sir! I’m enjoying them 😎
They could be cheaper to my opinion ..
@@groundzero4044 what do you expect for a BRAND NEW set of seats? Foam, upholstery, everything.
I installed them in Project 4TO8, I liked them. Definitely better that wore out stock seats with bent frames.
Exactly! definitely easier and cheaper than finding a mint set of stockers
yes why rebuilt them with bent frames ...good point !

I appreciate that. Just trying to help where I can 🙏
Those seats are slick. you just save me some money I was going to get reupholstery kit and foam on top of the driver seat I still had to buy. Thanks brew2l you are the man.
👌🙏
They look great. But if they had vinyl sides and rear, they would look far more factory and wouldn't be any more expensive to make.
Great video BREW2L, man those are some nice looking seats, and to be honest the original seats in my 92 5.0 lx I didn't think were the best made anyway, the 85 GT

Next time LMR Sends some, get it in 87 gray (smoke). I’d love some!
Thinking about getting these myself, definitely want to hear more about them
Thank u I wanted you know what they looked like so I ordered the LMR acme upholstery and new foams and everything they have to restore the seats and I'm so happy with the results and I did it myself well worth it 👌 thank u u motivated me to do this
Remember how firm Saleen FloFit seats were? I am sure these are fine. Good stuff. Keep it up.
Exactly 👌
Nothing beats the original, Smoke Grey Tweed seats imo. Mine are still in great shape for being 34 years old. That said, these look like a good replacement option, *shrugs*
Took me 6 months to find a set of really nice titanium fronts. The vinyl on the sides and back was perfect and all. Grab them if you can.
I am just curious if you would be able to buy the upholstery kit from LMR and then make these look OEM? I’m gonna call them tomorrow and find out! Can’t find any seats out in Dallas, Texas.
I think they look awesome!! We are lucky to be able to get so many parts for these cars👍
They look good for the price. Like you said, Brew2l… by the time you add up buying a pair of shot seats, then foam, then upholstery, then labor, you’re looking at $1k-$1200 easy, and they’ll look just like that anyways. Might as well save some coin, time, and hassle and just get these 👍
Perfectly said 👌
I’m definitely considering them. I wish they came in red though.
not a lot of love for us Scarlet Red guys.
I’m really surprised you didn’t clean up the brackets and pain them before you put them back in.lol looks good man

Glad to see retro getting some love. Also would like to find all the red interior for my 82. I'd get rid of this black interior
Nice review. Those do look pretty good. I lucked out about 2 years ago and found some 03-04 Mach 1 seats, leather with the power driver in mint shape. Best looking and feeling seat I’ve ever had in my Fox.
I don't care what anybody says...those look great!

Looks good from here, y'all get them likes up
😎💪
I think they look closer to factory then the other companies that sell the upholstery kits..thanks for the review keep up the awesome content 🍻
I have a 93 Cobra with factory opal gray leather seats. I got a quote to reupholster with vinyl seats for $1500. I decided I can live with a small tear on the drivers seat and save my money.
It’s some $$ for sure but I’ve seen used black seats locally in “OK” condition at best going for $600. I’d be curious what the weight difference is?
LMR RULES!!!!
Looks good, them 06 seat should fit good in the grey ghost
Good point 🤔😎👌
The black ones look great and look perfect in the retro fox. The gray ones not so much. They look too light gray. I'm curious how they hold up. Are they light because the frame is thin and they bend?

What do u think of the LMR acme black seat upholstery?
Love the looks on these.
LMR is fantastic to deal with and I buy a lot of parts from them and really appreciate them for Mustang and Lightning projects. As far as these seats go, they just aren't for me. The real tweed looks and feels so much better. If I bought a car that had these seats, I would sell them. I truly beleive that they will get better with time.
Now imma have to buy new seats lol...they look comfortable
Upholstery definitely worked out for me on a 93 coupe a lot cheaper changed out the electrical seat track because had that nasty gangster lean with lmr stock track for stock seats worked out perfect if you got the money to upgrade definitely worth it
Brew2L can you give a 1 year butt review of these seats? Go, bad,? How are they holding up?
I can do that. For now I can tell you I would recommend them if you’re ok sitting a bit higher that stock seat height
Thanks for doing that. Seats look good!
Waiting for mine to come.
Brew did they come with the knee bolster? I didnt even look. That an option or not at this point? They look super in that red retro
They don’t. But who ever uses that anyway 😂🤷♂️
Look great! I have decent low mile SN 95 tweed seats and love them
Did they correct the frame issue from what the factory had problems with? Bending and cracking?
1st,lol The seats look decent for the money!
Definitely 🔥🔥
Great informative content for those who are interested !
I have a mint black tweed interior for a hatch set aside. I also have a mint rear hatch privacy cover. What do you guys think those could sell for ?
Dude, I got a quote for my 89 seats to be reupholstered...$800 PER seat! Yeah these are better I like the way they look in person the photos on LMR don't do them justice
Are they able to lean forward to let passengers in the back seats like the OEM ones with the little lever?
Looks good. Much rather have those
I put a set of 2015 ford focus seats in my 88
Love the content, where did you get that speaker set up for the shop?
I just want all my seats to match..I have gray with red stripes in front and red seats in the back
That’s completely understandable 👌
That's the same seats that Caleb put into project 4to8 isn't it?

I need to get seats out of a 2006 Mustang. I can use the extra head room
They may not be exact replicas but they look a million times better and make the whole car look a million times better than those fugly modern seats. Excellent upgrade!
Nothing wrong with them seats at least lmr offers a replacement 👍 I like your modified seat idea brew2l better
Seats look good. I like having that option. Side question, do you still like the corbeau seats in the clone? I've got porno red interior and considering a modern seat, not sure on color or type yet.
Very nice! Nothing wrong with those seats. Chasing all OEM will get you $30k+ in an $8k car.
I went with flofit back in the day. They are no longer around. I think I paid $ 900. They were less expensive than recaros.

I’ll keep you guys updated on what we’re going to do with the other seats. Just haven’t made my mind up yet.

Have you ever had the plad interior ?
Looks nice , I might get some for my future project. 76 mercury Capri
Just as I was eyeing these you basically convinced me
I like the seats but unfortunately they don’t work for someone with a 2 tone or scarlet red interior. This is something I’ve been debating since I got my car, unfortunately I will have to deal with having a passenger seat in my drivers side (bought the car like that) till I can find something that will work.

Man they have a matching back seat cover
I mean do they offer a matching back seat?
Thanks for the review
Looks Good!!!!!
I’d just get racing seats love the look
👍👍good stuff bro. I agree 100%!!!!
The seats look great and they work! I'd do it.
Will you sell the seats you took out? Looking for a set!
I thought about it…. We’ll just have to see
Cool let me know. Think I’m close to you. Going in my gen 3 coyote notch back
If Zach doesn’t pick them up I will gladly buy them👍🏼
When you go with a cowl hood are you going to do Hood pins
Are the Corbou seats comfortable
They look good Brew2L
With those seats can I reuse my 86 factory seat Halo headrest?
Why some time it take 18 week to have them delivery..
They look great, but I'm still waiting for them to drop some black leather. I NEED to get my damn interior done 😂
Great video brother 👍
Any idea if they will do the 85-86 GT seats?
I bought that exact set of seats. I was very dissatisfied. Put my head too close to the roof.

Great feedback! I’m glad they worked with you and let you get something else. So far I’m super impressed with mine 😎
I hate crap like that. I wonder what the likely hood is LMR "straightened" it probably by jumping on it and will re-send them out to some unsuspecting buyer.
@@thomhagan8297 or send them to brew2l for free to try out in the retro fox 😜🤣🤣🤣
They look perfect
I wish they had the Red!!
Great review the seats are awsome! New tech is always better
I think I’d spring the money for the corbeaus personally
I would too but some people want that original look and for those people these are a great option.
They have to be better than the seat in the calypso, I had those in a coupe and they suck for me as I’m 6’4”
These do sit a little higher as well. Probably 1/2 inch or so above stock
Definitely gonna pass on those. Big thanks for the review tho!
the black matches better than they grey..for all you lucky to have black interior.....
Brew2l which seat do you like more, these or the corbeau?
I like these the best. But the corbeau’s are nice as well. They just sit a little higher than I prefer
Awesome thanks for the info. I’m 6’2 so sounds like I’ll be going with these.
Any new LMR discount codes?
New seats look good👍
Those look great.
No lumbar adjustment though
Notification team!!
🔥💪
I'll be getting some. Got a lil hole in one.
Man, you need to get some Halo headrests. I know mint 85/86 seats are hard to come by but Halos on a fox body no matter the year is the bees knees.
I’ve been looking for a netted set for months. Damn near impossible to find
Awesome looks great
