I have seen them B4 and can't seem to find them.

Sport seats are not in the budget right now so this would be a good option in the mean time.

What is this "Bling" of which you speak?

Actually they are a shell that fits over the back and gives you the "wings" that the sport seats have. Sport seats are MUCH more comfortable in my opinion. Just did a long road trip and realized how much I miss them.

This is all I have seen, for the money you could probably find a nice set of sports seats.

Yeah that is what they cost for a real set. I had seen them on Ebay before. But can't find them now

Only thing I like about those it it allows you to keep the full power seats and memory.

You are correct. Whenever I have retrofitted Sport seats in you have to do some wiring.

Anyone on here have these shells?

I am not totally sure that those seat backs will be looking too cool. Like a fake Rolex or a kit car... there is just something to be said about original. I mean, would you stick on an "S" on the back of your car so people think that is what you are driving?

Not donating to the site and becoming a member with 245+ post is kinda cheesy

But thanks for your opinion.

I can't seem to find them anyway. Next will be the long road to find heated GRAY sport seats. It is easy to tear them down to have the back painted.

If anyone finds these in the mean time let me know (the Cheesy backs or a set of reasonable Sports)

It would only add the small, shoulder level wings?

And the painted backs (or Bling )

Thanks Nick, those are what Marc posted. VERTEX use to carry them but no more. Oh well
