    Any local upholsterer should be able to add padding existing seat bases for a lot less.

    yea i looked at that before i got the new seat, a place here in palmy quoted me around the $200 which i thought was crazy just to add abit of padding, but apparently they would have had to basically pull the whole thing apart and start from scratch for it to look right, so instead i sold the stock seat for just over $200 and put that money towards the new one
