An auto uphostry shop should be able to custom carve them for you based on the original pieces.

Re: NEW SEAT FOAM ???????????

The shop that I am going to have redo myleather seats is going to tak an extra cloth drivers seat that I have and use that foam. The cloth seat does not have a lot off miles on it. We could only find 1st and 2nd gen foam. As usual 3rd gen is not available.

The shop is also going to re-inforce that area that always wears on the drivers seat so that the wires can't pop thru again cutting the material. You might want to ask your shop to do the same.

Re: NEW SEAT FOAM ???????????

man i just threw away all kinds of these cuz i was tired of looking at the seats, they were real nice too, i stripped them down to metal so i coud put it all in the trash

you should be able to find some for dirt cheap in the parts board from someone


no one seems to want seats anymore for some reason
