When I take delivery of my Mustang (who knows when that will be: April? June? later?) I plan on removing the middle headrest to get more room to view with the rear view mirror. Assuming there is not a passenger in the seat, this is legal, right?

Speaking of the seats, they're Active X (which is a type of vinyl I believe) which looks and feels like leather and I purchased a ceramic coating that is advertised for leather and vinyl. Supposedly lasts 2 years. We'll see how it looks and lasts.

I'm planning on such dark tint on the rear window I won't be able to see much out of it anyway. It did that on my Boss 302 and it was great. Nothing worse than bright headlights right behind you.

isn't rear glass tint standard? At least from the pictures it looks like it.

If no one sits there, then it should not be an issue. One option they should consider for the future, tilt down headrests.

Probably. I'll still hit it with some 5% tint to black it out. I'll probably put 35% on the sides.
