Not sure of Michaels excuse, but my seat pans were nearly rusted completely through.

I really like the look and the lower seating position of the Elise seats. I was leaving for vacation in the morning and couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger w/o the requisite research. They sold very quickly of course. During the research I did do I found several (very pricey) alternatives.

I already took about 1.5 inches of foam out of the driver's seat using Keith's method. I need much more to get my eyes below the windshield and my head off the roll bar. But I don't care for the worn out foam look it's caused with the cover (saggy butt). I'm not a big fan of the NA seat's look to start with. I really like the look of the NB seats Keith did with the custom centers (in Elvis I believe...sat in them at FM also). I need to find a pair and an upholster. I also sat in some Elise type replacements seats. I need to hit Kieth up on the make/model as they were comfy and quite low.
