replacement seat foam

I bought an 02 ta recently and the leather seats are in excellent shape, but the driver butt foam is worn as hell. Where should I look for the replacement piece of foam? Also, how much should I pay someone to install it for me? I know nothing about upholstery.

there is NO current availability of front seat foam for 4th gens......someone would have to custom make it or you can scour junkyards.......i had mine redone at a upholstery shop but it crapped out after 6 months

Get some replacement foam and glue it on the stock.

Get a replacement from a passenger side seat....they are identical and usually in way better condition then the driver's side.

I went to the junk yard and found a perfect right seat that was cloth. I took everything apart, took out the seat foam bottom and put it on my driver seat. I had found some used great seat leathers and replaced the leather too. Now everything matches and all is OE. I did the same to the left lean back too. Not very hard.

Yup. I looked to no avail.

The first company to make it will likely do well.
