I know. I was the same way. I wanted a 14, GB with all options and roof. That was it. I saw several 13's and other fully optioned cars with low miles but it was hard to find the GB with roof/low miles, etc. Thankfully I saw this car and I jumped all over it and I'm glad I did. I've come to realize that it's hard to find exactly what you want when it comes to these cars.

Yea. It's going to be hard and may be a long,long time trying to find exactly the options.

I jumped on my GB -Glass roof in 2015 but it didnt have Recaros but I'm glad I did buy it at the time. I've put 21K miles on it in 5 years since then, these cars are to much fun to let sit.

Looked all over for a GT350 and found some really good deals but think I'm just going to keep what I have now.

It seems like ALOT of the 350s I find for sell have had Engine or Transmission issues. The Oasis reports are full of issues it seems which have made me hesitant to pull the trigger. I love the look though and think it's the sharpest Mustang out there currently.

Yeah I like the gt350 a lot, just doesn’t hold its value. The gt350 is a pure driving experience. With that being said, I’m still searching for this 13-14 GRabber blue glass roof gt500

I’ve got a 2014 GT500, grabber blue white stripe glass roof, Recaro, Electronics pack car that just turned over 10k miles last week. All stock but for an engine oil separator, and good struts. But I’m afraid I’m not parting with this one. She’s my forever car.

I debated long and hard about the glass roof when I ordered her. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger on that. It is a signature feature of the S-197. They are very hard to find now.

Personally that's my favorite color combo and perfect wheels.

I dropped the soap when I ordered mine.

Did not want to push the sticker any higher as I was already near the top of my budget, and I’d never been inside a glass roof vehicle.

Oh well. Someone here said that Ford has replacement glass roofs. Why not consult a glass/body shop about having one installed?

I’m keeping my options open. If I can find a gt350 for a steal brand new, I’ll buy it. 13-14 grabber blue glass roof is at the top of my list though

those are quite the opposite selections. Very different rides.

be glad you didn’t get the Recaros. I wish I had gotten my 14 without. Other than looking cool, they were annoying and caused discomfort on drives over 30 min.

Really?
Is it less padding that makes them stiffer or lighter? I would have thought more support would have been more comforrt.

it wasn’t the stiffness or weight. Before I bought the car, I also figured the same as you, never having had Recaros. Thought to myself “surely with better support, there will be more comfort”. I am not a big guy, usually hover at around 210-220 at 5.11, but the lateral support on my upper back dug in and created pressure spots on my upper lateral back. It got very uncomfortable for me. The seats would be great for a thin, smaller guy. Also, the seating position was a bit awkward.

I’ll never get Recaros again. Not worth the money (for me). The standard seats are much more comfortable (for me).

Here’s the bitch...

Not all Recaro's are the same between years and vehicles. Now if your older then you might not like them in any vehicle.

unfortunately, I have tried different Recaros, not a fan. They look great but just not comfortable for me.
