If I understand what you're trying to do, I will be extremely interested in what you find. For me, the bolsters (especially in the bottom cushion, are just to high/wide. I need more flat area to sit (or a smaller butt).
I took the car to an upholsterer and he wouldn't touch it. I really like the look of the leather seats, but if the base model is that much better, I might just have to change.
I would also like the backrest to be a little wider, but that is a seat change for sure, and I have no idea what would work in there.
