Modifying Factory Seats

Allright I love my heated seats, I like my airbags in my seats, I like the seatbelt sensor that senses weight in my seats (kind of) and I like the adjustability of the factory seat brackets so my question is: Can anything be done to the seats to make them more recaro style ie more padding on the sides and a better seat covering for a modest amount of money. Does anyone in the NAM community do this kind of operation? Basically different seat covers and better padding. Any info would be appreciate and pics of some custom stuff would be awesome. Thanks

M7 had it done to their blue Cosworth car. I think the owners name is CooperSS. Maybe trying shooting him a PM.

Also https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=142990 for better pix.

This is one of the best mods I've ever done to my car - I took a 6K mile drive this summer, and was amazed that my back didn't hurt after a number of 10-hour days driving.

Yeah that is the route that I plan on going only the bottom bolsters also. I guess all said and done about a grand a seat but at least I still get to retain airbags and heated seats.
