[sho89mtx]

so i'm sitting in my car the other day and realized how badly I hate the inside of the car, I mean I don't mind the doors, the dash and stuff, but the seats are hideously plain looking. ANyone make any cool seat covers or accesories for the interior of are cars? ALso does anyone make a cool style shifter for our cars or am I stuck with the stock one for life?

thanks,
scott

There is only a few ppl/places that I know of that has direct fit seat covers for our cars. Geno has some, and Special Vehicle Products Unlimited has some. I am not sure about Geno, but I know SPVU has it to where you can get any color combo they have available, and you can get it LSC style (with the perforated leather).

As for a shifter.....you are pretty much stuck, unless you can find one with the extra button.....or you can do what I did, move the O/D button to the T/C button below the HVAC controller and using this or any shifter knob you want.....after you move the wiring for the O/D function.

I hope this helps.... :Beer

From the SVPU website:

Unfortunately due to outsourcing out of country our manufacturer of our Leather kits has informed us that effective Friday July 29th, 2005 they will be shutting down the leather department and we will no longer be able to offer our leather kits. We were the first and the best...NOBODY could or has offered a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty on their kits so if you kept putting off ordering your kit then it is just about too late....sorry, we have invested a lot in this program and not happy this decision has been made but have no say in the matter.

Sheesh, there are interior ARTISTS out there! Instead of SITTING in the Mark, why not fire it up and go have a look see? http://www.mendozasautointeriors.com/3.htm

PS: These folk make dreams become reality perhaps a lil more ea$ily: http://www.autoupholsterykits.com/

unless your interior is all ragged out... anyone tired of the mark interior maybe should start lookin for a new car. I absolutely love my marks interior. All black stock MarkVIII interior defines style!!

and to put that shift knob in a Mark interior is sacrelig. That thing belongs in a ricer.

Hmmmmmmm... I wonder how this...

You can run a Hurst 1/4 stick which is an awesome shifter. You just have to get the NOS button knob and use it for the over drive switch. I will be putting this in The TerminVIIIor someday, I have it just sitting in the garage.

If you had 1200 bucks laying around you could have bought the leather kit from SVPU, but now it seems their out of that business. Posted from another board:

Like what was said earlier.....Take it to a custom shop. I'm looking for a new carpet set right now. If I can't get one from ford, I'm going through the same.

Wouldn't the B&M Megashifter work as well?
