No, I had them installed by a local trim shop. As I explained in a previous post, the shop said the foam did not fit correctly and they had to spend 2 extra hours making adjustments. If I were to do this again, I would still buy the leather from Ridies, but I would get the foam somewhere else, probably Corvette America.

Oh yeah. Sorry. Haha. I’m surprised ridies foam is so different. I’ve been looking online at the various vendors that sell foam and they all look almost identical in the pics.

Looks like the stock seat foam goes a lot lower than your pic as well. This is my seat with stock foam. And like you said the pocket is very deep. This could be what pewter is talking about re his trim shop fighting with ridies' foam.
