Personally, i'd maybe try get some seats from a different model, maybe GT seats or similar, or even XR.
keep the GT-P seats for when you sell.

I love the GT-P seats. They hug my form so well. Then again I'm not a full figure... 6"2 and 65kg lol.

Replace them with F6 or GT seats and sell GT-P ones. Modding them will just look silly. |

If you get new seats, you need to get the one with side airbags.

Thanks for your input do the GT seats fit straight in , I did read they were a bit more comfortable than the GTP seats anyway.

GT seats fit straight in. Just make sure you get a set of BA/BF GT seats as it will have a Head/Thorax side airbag. FG has Thorax side airbag.

Thanks , I bought a foam drivers side seat base from ebay for $40 so I will take it to the motor trimmers so they can have a play with it , they did say there may be some metal plates in the front wings that would be my only concern.
