I am looking to replace my cloth front seats in my '11 GT. The FRPP Recaros are nice but over the top expensive. In my '99 Saleen, I had Corbeau VX2000 seats in leather; great seat and a little more than half the price of the Recaros. What seats is everyone sitting in, factory, aftermarket, cloth, or leather?
Additionally, most of the aftermarket seats don't have airbags. How would I prevent the airbag light from coming on? So far, I have explored two upholstery shops-Auto Mat in Hicksville and R & R Upholstery in Westbury. Both of them are nearly as expensive as the FRPP Recaros!

Help!!!!!!!!!!

Roush Performance seat covers use the existing frame. Increased bolster/side support. An option to the Recaros. Suede /leather. I looked into this like you are now for my 2010GT. They cost about 999.99 $ for the seats. Not sure if back covers included. They will work with the existing air bag sensor modules and inflators. Check their site. Made custom , take a few weeks to get. :stang5:

Thanks Stu.
I was also looking at the Katzkin Covers. Airbag ready, available for front and back. Similar in price to the Roush. Having them installed by an experienced upholstery shop is $300-400.

I just replaced my cloth with leather. They cost me $350 and I installed them myself.
That cost is for fronts, backs and headrests. Got from eBay. I was surprised how nice the leather is. A bit of effort to install but I got it done. The vids on YouTube were very helpful. Worst part of the install is its very hard on the fingers. I would do it again. The leathers are by Roadwire. btw, they're sown for airbags.
