My first winter project
I just finished my upgrading the base seats on my 2000 FRC with Sport seat skins and new foams. What a difference. I went with a few upgrades to the seat frame by taking 1/4" tubing and sliced one side to slip over the bolster area on the seat backs and hot glued them on. This should keep the sharp edge of the seat from cutting the bolster foam and seat cover.
Here's a few pics of other changes.
Added 3/8" closed cell foam pad to stop seat frame wires from cutting new seat foam
Next 3/8" soft foam over closed cell foam
Finished seats
Re-installed in car

VE move over! BV interiors is in town! Great job Bill. VERY professional looking. Patience must be one of your virtues. I will have a go at this maybe next winter. I like the mods you added along the way.

Thanks guys...From the first day I got my car I wished I had the sport seats but the "Poorboy Racer" didn't come with them. I love the look, so now I have a 
ED, When I removed the old foam the bolster area had a cut in the foam, also the seat bottoms had deep lines from the seat wires. I hope the closed cell foam helps to stop the wires from cutting the new foam.
