I'm thinking about a slightly different look doing some custom seats and was wondering if any of the professionals here have seen some examples of this...

My MM is silver and the interior was the light color option and I was thinking about going with a darker over all look with some LF highlights that won't look too gaudy....


Something simple yet, classy....

Anyone with info, examples or pictures would be greatly appreciated.....:beer:

Thanks....

Send a pm to Spectragod (Darren) . I'm pretty certain he had his seats custom upholstered. Although he has a DTR with Dark Charcoal interior. Darren only allows high quality work on his Marauder.

Hi Dave,

check out this thread from last December 2012: http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=84260

This may not be the color you're looking for but may give you some insight and ideas for your custom interior project. As always, pictures of your progress would be great to see!

Wow....

That link was awesome....

I'm looking for something more subtile, front seats and backseat accents with a different look.....

Three sections.....

If I can find a good looking combination that I can afford, I will definitely post pictures....

Wow..... I am flattered.:o

These seats were from an 03' (thanks Marty), the centers had been changed out, so I had no issues modifying them. I am a little on the fence about the head rests though, I do have a set of plain ones I can swap out.

Anyhow, hope that gives you an idea what can be done.....

I like the inserts being a different color. I had it done on my LSC seats that were Ivory. I added a deep green in the inserts. I thought it would be too much but when I got em back it really set the interior off. Do the inserts and the carpet on the doors. The way his seats are done are on my to do list. Ofcourse without the trilogy enbroidery...:(

AWESOME!!! I was wondering if anyone had put Gods Heads emblem in place of the stamped ones. Mines look as if they are gradually going away. Those are center caps correct???

Very nice......:up:

How difficult is it to change the inserts.....?

I was originally thinking darker with LF highlights but, I wonder if I get get away with LF seats with charcoal inserts......?

Thanks for posting those pictures......:beer:

Not hard, since I paid someone to do the work. :cool:

It'll be better if you have a friend in the "business" expect 1k+ for the work+ materials.

Those center caps can't be comfortable...

L.Mark ... Those are center caps correct???
I believe so. They're not my seats nor doing. IIRC they belong to an oldtime MercuryMarauder.net member named "Dave" (don't recall his userID). *Met him in 2004 during a MercuryMarauder.net dyno' day in Atlanta at Team Ford. He was from Charlotte, NC.

That backseat pic would look better without shoe box and napkin on the seat ,seats look awesome though.

Wonder if the seat goes back if the caps will stay in place like they would with floating center caps...:D

Sweet interiors fellas:beer:

I think I will just drive mine till I wear holes through the seats or redo them stock. I'm just the type who hates commitment to color changes
