Hi everyone, I'm Mike and I'm the lucky owner of a '12 Boss 302 in performance white. I've had it for a little over a year and I love it but the mod bug has got to me again and so far I have done the following:

TracKey
Open side-exit pipes (who hasn't??)
UPR Catch Can
Ford Racing Torsen Diff (OEM)
Fays2 Watt's Link
Tires: F/R 285/35/18 Continental ExtremeContact DW's
Wheels: F/R 18"x9.5" TSW Nurburgring's
GT500 Spoiler

Yes, unfortunately, I bought my car "used" (only 230 miles though!) so I had no say in the options and it came without the Recaro package. I got the Torsen installed but wasn't planning on getting the seats until I sat in a buddy's Boss 302 with the Recaro's and loved the difference. The Recaro's (if I can find a used set - if you have one with the Boss 302 embroidery or not, please pm!) or FR brake cooling kit will be next.
 
Hi Mike, welcome to BMO. Not sure if they are still available but Ford Racing was selling the seats. Not cheap but they are the same other than saying Ford Racing instead of Boss 302. Good luck on your search.

thanks! I don't mind the Ford Racing embroidery at all. The problem is price.. I'm not sure if they're available from Ford Racing, but I looked online and the cheapest new set was on American Muscle for $2,999.. far more than I can afford right now, unfortunately.
 
Where are you located? I know a guy that really wants to trade his Recaro's for standard seats and I have tried to tell him to check out this site but as far as I know he hasn't been on here.
Welcome to BMO by the way!

Welcome.

I have a '13 PW and have been considering the same wheels you have. Are your TSW's matte black? In any event try to post some pics?

Thanks again.

Save the dawn for your dishes!!!
I actually prefer the base seats in mine lol.

Have you considered a short throw shifter? it was nearly the first mod/best mod I did when I first got mine.

the base seats are great, can't really complain about them. I haven't tried the Recaros on long hauls, but they seemed like they would be a little less comfortable than the base ones. The Recaros just hold you in place much better on the track and that's why I want them.

yes, I would really like to get a short throw shifter or at least bushings but probably not before cooling ducts and better brake pads (and Recaros if I can find a good used deal lol).

Love the 2012. I wish I could have 1 of each year Boss in PW

I couldn't agree more. White is usually not one of my top colours but this white with the black accents look perfect.

I will get back to you. I just met him at the Ford dealership that I go to, he works there, I assume as a retirement job. All I can do is ask, I can't really vouch for him.

Went by the dealership yesterday and he was out but I left him a message to call me about a possible seat swap. So we'll see.
