Seat pictures please
I've been shopping for a set of C3 clamshell style seats to retrofit in my 65 and many I find have nothing covering the exposed foam on the seat back. I'm assuming there's a plastic shell of some sort but not sure why those pieces aren't being sold with the seats. I would appreciate a picture or two. I'm assuming there might be something also covering the backside of seat base as well but again, I just have never seen a complete set of seats.

The upholstered seat bottoms and backs clip into plastic seat shells.

To install "clam shell" seats, you can't just buy the covered foam cushions, you need the complete plastic seat, bottoms, backs, hinges, hinge covers and tracks. Your best bet is to try and find a good used pair of seats, the going rate is around $400-$500 for a pair. New hinge covers, backs and bottoms are available, but they aren't cheap (backs - $235 each, bottoms $330 each), and you'd still need to find used hinges and tracks.
