Seat cushions

My driver's side seat's cushions are like.. dieing. WHen i sit, my right hand side has the metal bit almost poking into my leg, when i touch it, there's just the seat cover and the metal bit, no cushion in between at all..

Luckily I still havn't put on the covers I bought from Max's group buy, so is there anyway I can replace the cushions while changing seat covers?

Upholsterer

An Upholsterer should be able to sort you out. Short of buying replacement seats, that is your only real option (unless you intend to have a shot at it yourself that is)

Yeah.
I'd reccomend upholsterer. They should do a smicko job. And doing it yourself could be interesting.

ah nice, uplhosterer, is there special ones for cars (this might sound like a stupid questions, but i dont know so i'll ask anyway) or can i just go to any upholstery place?

So i can just go to them and ask them to "repad the cushion" , mm i might as well get them to put on the seat covers for me!

Just stick some normal spunge to the missing area,
Then put a cardboard wrap on it, finally stick secure it all down with multiple layers of masking tape.
I have fixed many seats this way, costs only $5, did last me more than 3 years, still strong.
