the seats look the same- maybe the angle of the bolsters is a bit wider- I suspect it is. I paid $225, but I think now that they've seen the labor involved, they might want to charge a bit more.....

 

I just realized...I don't need pictures after all. I don't think the passenger side has the metal braces, so I have a pretty good idea what it would look and feel like after taking out the bolsters.

 

Question...on his last pic, does he cut the stubs off flush with the main seat bracing, or just leave as shown with short stubs on each end as depicted on an earlier shot? It's hard to tell based on the change of angle for the last shot.

 

It has been so long since I had the seat mod done and it isn't something that I think about until it's revisited here. If memory serves... regardless of cutting/ bending, or some combination of the two the look is the same as before the change (the sport still looks like the sport seat not the passenger seat- and the thigh bolster works fine. But there might very well be two slightly different ways to approach the problem. I would defer to a pro'
/Bottom line is to have a conversation with an upholster that you are comfortable doing business with. One that has been doing this with other cars with similar issue would obviously be the way to go. The problem (for some other drivers apparently is not limited to Infiniti).
//If anybody really cares about pics they need to be in the shop when work is done and shoot pics beginning with the seat removal by the folks doing the work, the process, and re-installation. I trusted my guys and wasn't that interested, and had other things to do. When I picked it up a couple hours later there was no visually noticeable difference in appearance.
///The extra comfort was instant and has not changed. The appearance and function is the same in all aspects as the previously unmodified sport seat.

 

Idaho is right.....the seat does not look anything other than stock. Visually, you would not be able to tell a thing. But comfort wise, it's night and day! I am now able to enjoy my new car!

 

Good..sounds like what I need to do. The reason I was asking about the last picture was I was considering doing it myself and was curious if there was more work to trim off the stubs beyond what was shown in the earlier shot.

 

the metal braces were cut off right down to the welds.

 

Thanks...that's what I wasn't sure of since the pic was blurry.

 

Had support braces removed from mine a couple of weeks ago. Seats look the same but much more comfortable. Thanks to the many inputs on this forum. Glad I made the change.
They cut the braces off at the welds in case I might ever want to replace them. They did a great job, and are nice people. If you are in the Delaware area, I highly recommend The Trim Shop near Newark, Dela. Their rate is $65/hr, took them 3.5 hrs. on mine. May be less now that they've done one.

 

I have the Non sport seats in Stone if you wanna trade?

 

Has anyone found a good shop to do this in the Atlanta area?

 

Silver37-

I would just call a few shops and explain what you want. If they seem to understand, and they have a good reputation, go for it. Best mod ever.

 

Thanks...will do. The seat just kills me this time of year, so I'm ready for the mod!

 

I just mod my seat and now the air bag light is blinking. Help!

 

I am in NY, who did the work for you? which shop?
