Seat Part 2 (driver side)













Stock seat skin.
































































Back rest. Took off the stock lumber support and made new one from memory foam and arm rest for computer mouse.















Dark gery thing is another memory foam pad. This one's slightly higher density. (These are used for seat cushion. The lighter tan colored one is for matress.)









The finished photo. (not a good one. I was waaay too tired. I'll take another photo later. But you get the idea.)

Here are some photo's of re-upholstering the miata seat. The seat skin is made by Katzkin.(purchased through Crazy Red in Sacramento 'cause Katzking only deals with dealership/shop.
It is slightly lighter shade of tan than stock seat. Also , "crease(wrinkle?) " on the new seat is because of "gethered insert" of the new skin (as opposed to tight fit of OEM seat style.) You may or may not like the look in the photo, but seeing it in the flesh, it doesn't look bad. I've chosen gethered because I was going to modify the sitting position, both bottom and backrest. I got a piece of memory foam and replaced it with stock lumber support panel.
