Project "Pimp my seats" **begin 8-31** Ok folks, the project has begun to get some nice seats in my car.
Here is what I'm starting with:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=280021370757
I'm stripping down the seats to the frame and doing the following:
-completely repad the seats
-use stiffer foam on bolsters and seat bottom
-enlarge bottom and back bolsters by 25%
-insert bottom and back heating elements
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
-recovering the seats in high end leather
I should have them done and in the car in 3 to 4 weeks.
I'll post pics of my current seats for comparison later.

DAMN, those are the seats I wanted when I got mine, once I drove a few hours to pick mine up I realized they were the older styled seats with the bulky headrests 
Oh wait, just seen those were electric, I hate electric seats, almost as much as these head rests hah.
Good luck

thanks, unfortunately that is the only pic i have so far of the interior.
i LOVE my seats, i just hate getting the suede dirty, but i get compliments from ALOT of people on the seats, especially from my local f-body friends, they are envious
