modifying stock seats, pics and ideas please Options

[toon1]

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.

Would highly recommend against doin this , any other car it would be ok

But 914 s don't do well with anything other then own seats imho

Im 6-3 and just got a set of fully restored seats from my neighbor 300 $ steal of the century

And fit like a glove , nothing else really works better

Don't know if I have photos, but it is easy to do cause the seats are glass. If you remove the fabric you can pull up the side bolsters. I did that to make an autocross seat cause I am not strong enough to hold my body in place, so wedging my butt into the seat with some torso support helps. With a minimal pad in the bottom it also lowers my helmet a tad, which is better. The beauty is you can start with a really ratty seat and even if there are cracks in the original fiberglass you can shape anything you want. So the cost for the original seat can be very low. The upholstery is very simple in principal, but I think I used an old miata seat cover for mine. The ankle biter thread shows some really nice work with fiberglass to make different shapes.
