[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 1533603, member: 30520"] I [I]seriously[/I] thought about it, but seats was what kinda nixxed that idea. I have always loved that color scheme when i first saw it back in the 1990's. Even today it still looks great. But total cost of that project is what killed the idea. TMI was the only upholstery shop that made the oxford white seat covers. It was $1600 for the covers and foam and I would still need to track down a set of donor 94-98 seats to use. Interior panels are hard to find, so everything would have had to be dyed. Easily another couple hundred in paint. The covers for my existing parchment seats were $400 from another vendor. I've seen pics of the end product and they look pretty darn good. I have another set of donor seats with good foam, so in the end it was just more cost effective. Not trying to dump a whole lot of money into this car. I just want to clean it up, have fun with it for a couple summers, and then likely sell it for an 03/04 cobra convertible. With that endgame in mind, I wouldn't get my $2K back on the oxford white seats when it comes time to sell the car. BUT, i did think about bringing the dark parchment color of the dash down into the door panels and rear quarter panels. I just can't decide if i'll like it. I have the paint. The only thing holding me back is that the dark color just looks very brown and not sure i want that much brown in the interior. I'll have to think about it. It might requie pulling the dash to respray the top part to match. If i do that, i might as well go black. Eh for now, we'll just stick with stock. [/QUOTE]
