The drivers bolster foam will be hard to repair. If it were me I would have replaced the all the foam on the drivers side, or switched the driver for the passenger side. If you noticed the seat shell, it's very sharp and getting in and out cuts the foam and leaves the mark on the seat skin. I took air supply line for my fish tank and split it and glued it to the fiberglass seat shell to stop the foam and skins from being cut. I also used a pad of closed cell foam 3/8" to put on top of the spring wires so they wouldn't cut into the new foams.

That looks good! Where did you get the emblem on the steering wheel? Let me know about those black skins. I know we will have to replace the foam. I think I sent you a pic of my drivers seat.
