My butt hurts : (

I just bought a brilliant silver 7 speed base model with sports package from Lou Fusz in Saint Louis. Lou is great; he picked me up from the airport personally and made the whole buying experience very pleasant. The car is also great! I am very happy with it – with one exception. I only test drove models with the touring package. I didn’t like any of the stock leather colors so I planed to reupholster the seats with Katzkins. I am also going to install an aftermarket audio system with GPS so didn’t see the point in upgrading things that were going to be thrown out anyway. The money saved by not opting for the touring package will easily cover the upgrades.

The base seats are a joke. Its almost like they are some kind of movie prop – it looks like a seat, but don’t try to sit in it. As soon as I sat down I could feel the metal rails against the sides of my legs. I am not big guy, maybe these seats just don’t fit me well. I had an S2000 and those seats are fantastic. After driving 810 miles back home my butt and back are a mess. I ended up sitting on my jacket to try to make it a little better. As soon as I got home I went to a fabric shop and bought a pair of poly pads that are typically used in patio furniture seat cushions. I removed my 370Z seats and added the new pads between the springs and the cushion and put the seats back in. It seems much better with the new pad in. I am going to wait until my *** feels better before I decide to move forward with the Katzkins or to look for some replacment seats.
