Anyone know where I can find a pre-made seat foam kit for my 91 gsx leather seats? These seats are amazing because they have lumbar, thigh, & wingspan adjusters, but the seats I have are trashed & need new foam & reupholstered.. I currently have my 90 gst cloth seats in the car, but i wwould love to rebuild the original seats. Just wondering if someone makes pre-made foam kits gots these seats, or if I'm just gonna have to buy the foam in bulk & cut/shape it myself. Any advice/opinions would be much appreciated. Thanx.
 
Never for our cars sounds like you may have to diy, sometimes we need to fab up somethings for our cars, not like the muscle cars where parts are still being made.
 
True that!!! U can type in any old pos Ford/Chrysler/GM & find anything & everything for it... Including pre-made foam inserts. Lame... Looks like I'll be going to the fabric store...
 
go to the local junkyard and find a set of seats with the foam in good condition and pick them up. even if the skins are trashed they are easy to swap. all you need are hog ring pliers, hog rings and a set of good wire cutters
 
Yea... Tried that... No junk yards around here have any dsms .. sal good tho ### I know a guy who's really good with reupholstering, re-foaming & rebuilding seats ... Just kinda wanted to do it myself... But sewing the leather & getting it to fit just right takes skill & I'm a mechanic not a upholstery guy ya know...
 
I went to a fabric shop and picked up some firm foam and added it to my brother's 2g seats. I basically added 3/4" to the sides and non on the back or bottom. Made them more bucket like. You could go to an upholstery shop and see what they may have.

Wow! Those do look nice!!! Yea these seats are trashed! The drivers seat especially!! Barely any foam left & the half the leather is gone on the bottom cushion so the the thigh adjustment plate is fully exposed. I wanna do em in two tone as well... But thanx for the link!
