foam? sure have..
i've added it to the back a few weeks ago. Adding it to the bottom part of the seat over the weekend.
I'm going to pull the whole seat apart and refoam all the bits to get a nice tight fit on the seat covers.

finally completed my own install
started friday night .. did about 4 hours then. got stuck when one of the bolts wouldn't come off the passenger seat.. so i spent the rest of my friday night bending wire for both the seats.
next morning woke up at 11 and continued but on the drivers seat. finished that at about 4pm and started working on the passenger seat again taking an angle grinder to the stuck bolt to get it out.
finished the final seat at 7pm...
new foam, new covers.. very comfy compared to before.. very happy.. might not sell my car now..
more chrome to come.

yeah im liking the seats... the extra padding in them makes it really nice too.. a huge improvement compared to how my seats were.
they have crumbs on them already and need a vacuum.

Hey Astro,
If you're getting the complete AWD kit, don't forget the AC panels and the Ciggie lighter surround

How do the seats feel? Are they quite leather-esque?
