Of you google wrx seat mod you should find some threads about it. I think this was the thread that I saw.

What I did:
1) find the zipper to the seat. I reached in with my fingers and pulled out where the zipper starts
2) unzip and unhinged the bottom part of the flap.
3) As you can see from the first image above of the bolster has 3 hooks on each side that hold it on to the seat. The top two are really easy to get undone.
4) The bottom on I used a pliers and grabbed on the black piece and lifted up till it came out. (you can see the piece I grabbed on in the first image on the bottom left)
5) Slid the whole bolster out. No need to really rip any of the plastic.

That's a great pick dave, you have some serious skills w/ a lens. Your car and some of your portfolio work reminds me of Scarmack's photos. looking forward to seeing some more

Very nice pictures. When you tinted your taillights did you take them off the car or leave them in place? I like how they turned out on your car. Not sure if I want smoke or red :/

Thanks!
It was just a vinyl overlay so I left the lights on. I might do a painted solution later as I think it'd look better. Right now on the drivers side I have a two small wrinkles in the top I couldn't get out because of the curves. If you do go with the vinyl, I think it'd be better to get a sheet rather than the cut out because it didn't cover it completely. Most people wouldn't mind or notice, but I'm picky lol.

Few more photos

**naked_dave1** · 05-31-2012 04:45 PM

Did a log with my Accessport running a Stage1 93.

Looks like I'm ~.9 under boost, think I should try the high waste gate map? Everything else looks fine.

Target boost is + or - .8 PSI so you could certainly try running the HWG map and take another log. Going to a Torqued Performance map is also another option. I did that, couldn't recommend it more.

I was thinking about it, but I don't see the justification to get his Stage1 right now when I'll be going Stage2 soon. And I'll definitely get his Stage2 map when I do!
