Personally i prefer a simple, clean and neat appearance. After all, it is to be my street car. Thats why im not going for brand-name sports or racing seats. Also i feel that there is nothing wrong with the OEM seats, they suit the car/interior quite well. Doing this i also dont have to worry about unwanted attention or legality issues and can integrate/customise the trim as per my wishes while not having to shell out for new seats and getting them retrimmed (the dollars all add up). However when it comes time to go racing, then ill fit a super lightweight race seat that can be bolted in and out for meetings. As for bolstering, its a simple as pulling off the trim/cover and contact gluing some additional foam to build the desired shape into the seat. However pay attention to the density of the foam and where you plan on placing it. EG, mine will be built up slightly in the lower back for support and the sides (back and deck) to add a little more lateral support (bucketiness). The cost for both seats is not too much at all really. Foam $30 max, Material $150 max and the book that taught me custom auto trimming/upholstery was $59. Seriously i dont care how 'totally lame' some other sad young pimply git might think my interior is (will be). I will have done it all myself and at a small fraction of the cost that others will have paid. And that i can be proud of. [Updated on: Tue, 22 April 2003 12:01] [Report message to a moderator]
