Custom seats
I currently have the sport seats but I showed one of our leading auto upholsterers a picture of some Apsis ultra delux seats and he said he could make my seats look like that. To get the shape and bolstering needed up around the shoulders requires some metal work to build off of but he assures me we can make it happen. Will be black and red leather with diamond stitching.
Will post photos as it progresses
That way I keep my rails/electrics etc etc...
and have a custom look..
Any upgrades I should do to my seats par for course?

Looking forward to seeing pics. Should be a very cool mod when you're done.

Looking forward to the results as well. If you have not thought about it have them replace the washers in the seat track drive mechanism. These are the rubber isolaters that wear out and cause the infamous rocking seat issue. As this would apply only if you have the power seats.

I just rebuilt mine last weekend. I'll try to update my resto thread this weekend. I did the seat bladders with pressure cuffs, heated seats, and fixed the rocking issue. I took a ton of photos and will post a how to section in that thread. If you do the blood pressure cuffs, order them now. They take 3+ weeks to come in.

Unfortunately the thread is real far behind. I have to right a torque tube how to, and add some trans and dif stuff. But the thread already has the links that I used to do my work.
I have to put the hole driveline in this weekend. So I won't post until after that is finished.
