Anyone got pics. of the Hi-tech Foam seats completed? I received a E-brochure from them and it looks like you have a lot of cutting and shaping to do on their foam. I looked at the CA seat pics. using the Vans supplied foam and all I can say is UGLY. Maybe they look better in the plane?

I just stopped into their shop. Jim owns a fixed pitch prop repair shop also. A real nice guy. I'm looking to upgrade my seats and the foam system they have seems to be a good bet. I have Cleaveland tool seats now, but not with the foam. Can I reuse the covers? Anyone done this before?

Default Anyone Finished?

I just got a quote from Jim and Janice and their material and service looks really good.
I realize this thread is a year old but I'm wondering if anyone has completed their seats with this foam and if a picture could be posted? It seems like this is a good deal, and with some work on bolsters, would make very nice seats. Any feed back from completed users would be appreciated.
