QUOTE(1970 Neun vierzehn @ Nov 26 2012, 09:37 PM)  Nice contribution to the forum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Surely you have sat on these seats since the install.......do they feel different to you? Nice work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I did, and other than being extremely more pliable, they don't feel significantly different. I added a 1/2" of foam to the seat cushion, and that feels better. I went for about an hour drive on Sunday, and have to say its very satisfiying to have completed the seats, the first of several refreshening projects to the interior I plan this winter.

I wouldn't have had the stones to try mine without it. The main difference is the vendor, and I didn't change out the material for anything else. I will say again that I am really pleased with the material and workmanship of this vendor. I've actually considered buying another set, just to put away in case they stop making them. |

Seat upholstery...thread bump. Considering the various options and wanted to know who people are currently using for vendors. I need to redo two bottom cushions (basketweave) and 1 set of bolsters (smooth).
