Default Got bored again....
Didn't like the big padding on the back of my stock seat so I did some surgery on it. Amazing what you can do with a hacksaw blade and a dremel tool. Turned out really smooth and tight and I think it look's much better. The 1st pic is the "before".

Wow man! That looks WAY better! I like it a lot. Who needs aftermarket seats when you can do your own, right?! haha

Looks cool, wish I could do upholstery. I'm ok with metal but if I treid that I'd make a right pig's ear of it, it would end up with wrinkles and creases all over it. We'll done, great job.
