Default Looking for a seat mod shop for the stock slim seat

Does anyone know of any shops that can add memory foam and gel the stock slim seat. I've used Mean City Cycles for my other bikes but they claim that due to the stitching on this new slim seat they can't modify it like they did the other seats.They have some great mods on their site but this seat seems unworkable for them. They said that the seat cover is stitched to the seat pan

I emailed one of the popular venders here (cannot remember name) when i first got my slim. They told me that the slim seat could not be modified because the seat was stitched to the pan. Well I then went on the hunt for another seat. I took their word for it since thats what they do. Since then I have seen that several people that have had their seats modified. I wish i would have shopped around more instead of trusting them. Oh well, i am happy with what i have now.
