My car came with Recaro seats. They fit good but are real heavy so they are getting replaced. I've seen a ton of seat threads here but most are replacing the stock seats with something else.

I'm going back to the stock seats but I want to modify them

I'm leaning towards the "look" of the 911 and the Cayman seats.

I'm looking for ideas, so, If you have a favorite seat, of any kind or have modified a 914 seat please post up some pics.

I had my stock seats reupholstered with slightly bigger bolsters. Mike Wills knows the guy, he has had the same thing done on his car (I followed his lead). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I love the GTS seats, but didn't want to drop $2K on a pair, so am using mod'ed stock seats. Very easy to add side bolsters with fiberglass, and have covers made to fit.Attached Image

Those are really sweet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) They've got a racy look but are they comfortable? I like the idea of modifying stock seats because they fit me pretty well to start off with. The seats modded with lower side bolsters tend to eat at my hip bones so a deeper side like these would work... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
