funny, ive been talking with the same guy and it seemed too good to be true. I might go with this route for my mk4 front seats and maybe get the seat heat option to go with...gonna try to retain the black leather look for my car. What's your final take on this 2.5tsoarer?

btw, is that a sparco harness bar for a mk4 supra?

I agree they do need to be stretch , the oem foam is very worn out and not as poofy as when they were new. I will try and stretch some more but if I can I will take them somewhere.
I think with professional installation these are a great deal !
my harness bar is for an mk4 but its not sparco.

Ive read of people taking .5" thick foam and cutting it fit on top of the stock foam to give it a lift.

Would that work?

I don't think there would be a problem... that might be good if the original foam is pressed. More cushion the better

dang i wanna order a set they look pretty good guys


btw i think that ones looks fine, being not pressed tight like that reminds me of like first class airplane seats kinda cushy like a lazyboy if you want that tight look like new oem ones then i think the padding idea would be great

those look very nice. I was looking to get katzkin but I think I will go with these. You said these are nice and soft right?

I think I will be getting these once I do the interior

Yea I was thinking about doing that matt. I have extra seats sitting around so ill probably chop them up and shave some of the foam to pad it up a little more.

That dark gray looks perfect... should match my oem interior just fine.

Looks really good.

Is this your first time doing this? How hard has it been?
