Default Really surprised

I haven't taken any pics but they look the same same as when I put the new seat skins on. I just replaced the seat foam on the drivers seat. Unbelievable in how the seat is. It feels like anew car again. I recovered the seats a year ago and thought they would be fine, sadly mistaken. The new feel is amazing. Will be doing the passenger seat next for the better half. Love the car all over again. Just put on 350 miles today and was a great drive, even with thunderstorms. Yep got wet. Great times.

Old, worn out seat foam does make for a lousy driving experience.

Heres a couple pics of the "new seats". They filled the gap along side the seat control and really fit well. Love the way they feel. Like I said, feels like a new car. Thanks for looking.
