Im happy with it..I really wish I could have found a set of recaros, but not this time. For $28, im not going to complain too much haha.

The only worrying part to me is the side air bags. Need to make sure they will work; it was part of my reason for going with a 2011

Lol. Just some seat gore.

Going to try to fab angle iron to the bottoms of the focus seats. they're too wide to bolt to ranger tracks.

Did this thread just abruptly end? I just acquired a set of Focus Recaro buckets that I want to replace my 60/40 with, looking for pointers. Hopefully there is another thread in here.

I do not see any way to make these Focus seats work without some serious modifications and fabrication. The rails are way too wide as you can see in the picture where the factory mounting holes are. The seats are too wide for aftermarket seat brackets as well.
