The only thing I have planned short term is ordering a real leather shift boot with contrast stitching to match the Recaro's, if the boot is anything like the Focus ST's it's faux leather with black stitching and I'm a bit OCD so I like things to match.

Also, I'll probably swap to LED lighting, and maybe the Ford POWER button.

I should learn how do do the french stitching on my sewing machine. I could start doing custom boots in my spare time.

(before you judge, this was an easy way to make money hen I was in the Navy, catching people who needed last-minute patches to be sewn on their uniforms... especially underway on the Sub: $20 a uniform is a very lucrative racket)

YOU HAD ME AT French !!!!

Well, don't get fresh with me because all you'll get from me is stitching

 

[DirtyBlueshirt]

Any good adventurer knows how to sew at least a little. As for the machine, did you RTFM?

Huh? Manual? is that Spanish? I think he works down at the produce market...

So. Wrong.

You mean amusing.

Well, I believe there's an internet rule for that, so I suppose it's all interpretable

This is retarded, but how do I quote a post without using the BBC?

Creepy stalkers...

Trixsy.

Followers are like friends. I think "Friends" would have been a better word choice, but whatever.

Meh, I've realized several years ago I have a few stalkers. "Mostly Harmless".

Back to topic, I also have the "Power" button. Easy swap-out. I also have custom aluminum pedals going in at some point (saved from Domina) and eventually some choice Mountune parts.

Decided to sell off the Dectane taillights, they match the 2011-13 style anyways, and I have an Injen CAI in the Garage, waiting to see if it will actually fit in the new bumper, or if Mountune will have something better.

If the sun visors have ugly airbag warning stickers that won't come off, I'll be looking for visors from a market without the warning requirements.

It does.

That shift boot sounds like a good idea.

No real guarantees, I'd need a stock boot to disassemble to make a template.

I think I want to buy a spare rear seat center head rest and then run just the two centers so I have some rear visibility.

If you have the Recaro package, they're all low-profile

I've been looking for a definitive answer on this and I can't get one. The euro FiST has all low headrests but the fiesta agents STs have large ones. Pics on the site show low ones but there are also laws as to how high the headrest needs to be apparently. It's not 100% that they will be low. Unless you have some inside knowledge...

The STs that were in the EcoBoost challenge all had low-profile headrests. I figure that's about as close to production as we'll see before they actually arrive in showrooms. You mentioned Movement members with larger headrests, were they the Recaro seats or the standard ST seats? I have't seen a picture if you could link one?

Edit: I just went through the photos of BRGT350's ST. I see what you're talking about now. Interesting, we'll have to see.

Hm can't edit posts in this forum from tapatalk. But I guess that vid isn't the. Best. Just real quick shot of the back.

Well, I did set up an order from Tousley (Which is infinitely easier to say than "AutoNation Ford of White Bear Lake", by the way) to snag two center headrests for my 2014 Titanium. They seem to be less expensive than before... less than $70 each for the black leather.

I've decided I wast to do the S1600 graphics package on my Titanium (And with Performance Blue, it's begging for some white stripes... and not just on the stereo). I ordered a set of the side stripes for £18. The site "says" it will work on a 5-door with modifications to the door handle cuts, but worst case, from the from door handle back I can easily make a template and have a friend custom cut some vinyl for a perfect fitting. He'll help with the center stripes as well. The hood contour will be tricky to manage, but it's better to source all that locally as the dimensions are completely straightforward (straight-line?).

Hmm, if the leather of the Titanium models matches, I may have to snag two myself, will probably look/wear better than the gray cloth inserts I'll have in the back seats.

Hard to say. The leather is a textured black, french-stiched with silver thread. It wouldn't match the existing center headrest though, as those have the colored fabric in the middle.
