I just did something a little different. I had seats from a base coupe that had Katzkin leather covers. These covers are designed with some piping that runs down the midline of the seat. I took one of those memory foam lumbar pillows, cut it down, cut it in half, and insterted each half on either side of the midline piping. the seat still looks pretty normal but feels much better. i need to take some pictures and will try to post soon.

About twenty dollars on E-bay. Works great and you do not have to mess with you stock seat covers. You can move it around on your back till you find that spot. Toss it in back when you don't need it.



Not to cool looking? Crawling away from your car is less cool looking. Your butt won't hurt even after a twelve hundred mile day! Also cheep on E-bay. Remember no one can see it when you are sitting on it.
