And you probably don't have $2,350 for one of those seats let alone $4,700 for two of them.

But hey, we all like to dream. Those are nice seats.

okay, don't take this the wrong way.
why did you even make this thread?
There would be no reason to put those seats in an 88 TC.
You can have better seats, at a much better price than those.

If you have almost 5,000 dollars to throw on some seats, then you sir are dumb.

black seats in a red interior looks very tacky, so no, plus they are way too expensive

I know I wasn't going to do cause your right $4,700 is a lot, but I was just asking if anyone thought these seats would look good in a Tbird. I like to do things that no one else even would think bout doing and when u see the your like how did u do that. Basicly I want to be the first to have everything in my car. At what every expense doesn't matter, but what matters is people jolles droping in all

If $4700 seats are in your budget, you're NOT driving an 88 Cougar. No way. No how.
