I drive a LOT, and my back is often sore after ~45 minutes... If you could send me his info or post it, I would be eternally grateful. Regular comfort + grip when driving hard + Lexus approved + less expensive (hopefully) + side airbags, memory, no retrofitting... ...perfect!

I just fnnished cruising through his site and it shows pictures before and after on cars. He does also do old hot rods and classic restorations as well. When I spoke to him he said he does all the work for a lexus dealership so hes approved to work with the side airbag stuff. he exsplained it in the stitching. He walked me over a showed me a old hotrod that he just finnished that morning before the show started. he did it there in the show hall and it looked really good. If i remeber right that car got some trophy or something for interioir at the same show. When i spoke to him about doing my GS400 he said he needed the car for like two days to do all the work. And like i stated in an earler post he was showing me how he used memory foam for comfort and support. I dont think hes dirt cheap, but does good work and cheaper and easyer that trying to find other seats and trying to make them work. I havent used him yet but he will be who i go to when Im ready even if I have to drive for four hours each way to get there. Hope this helps someone. I just saw the post and thought id throw this info out there. Im not easyly impresses but he impressed me.

"But, uh, back to the lecture at hand
Perfection is perfected so I'ma let em understand
From a young G's perspective..."
Ok, I'm gonna go out on the limb and say this: most likely the bolt patterns don't match up, and even if they did, the electronic adjusting wouldn't work anymore (unless you were handy with steel if you know what I mean and rewired it all).
3gs seats into the 2 gs seats are not doable.

Luxury cars should stay completely stock like when the manufacturer intended it to be. After all, their engineer's spent thousands of hours of R&D creating the perfect car in their mind right?

Actually I too wouldn't put those seats in my car. I don't like the 5-Point harness either unless it was for a track car. I still think if it functions better than the stock seats its all good though. Lexus never really had good seats for even spirited street driving. I'm sure the IS350 seats are good though, but their sedans are purely for comfort. Of the cars I owned my Acura had the best seat, followed by my BMW.

I just wanna do it so I can have that diffrent facotor and so I can have black seats with my tan interior like supras and rx7 have all black with tan seats or the way some sport designds have black with peanut butter seats. Its just gangster
