Re: seat foam

it's readily availably from vendors at a premium price// i've gone thru local upholstery shops for quite a bit less/// either way it makes a big difference on the butt

Re: seat foam

How bad is tour original foam?If you can add a 1 inch layer from a local fabric shop, you could save mucho dinero.

Re: seat foam

I do NOT recommend getting new seat foam as it's too thick and puts you too high in the cab. I've had mine well over a year and it hasn't settled yet. I even had it shaved down towards the rear. Also, it's much harder than the original foam and really expensive too. $300 a set. Just have your upholsterer add foam to your original.

Re: seat foam

Just get some "Booty Pop" underwear and carry the "extra" padding with you at all times!

When I first read the title, the Booty Pop commercial was playing, so I kind of had to.
