03 WRX rear seats

Post by brand »

I picked up some 03 WRX seats and I've got them installed. The only thing giving me trouble is the upright part of the rears. The top sits maybe 2 inches higher than the original seats, so you can see the foam padding. I was wondering if anyone could share some tips or ways they've solved this problem.

I searched before I posted this but didn't have much luck, so my apologies if I missed the answer. Thanks!

Thinking about this a bit more, I'm pretty sure that the seats fit as well as they are going to and it just looks strange because the stock seats had a hard carpeted back and the wrx seats do not. I'll just get some carpet to cover it up and call it good.

I haven't gotten around to putting carpet on them yet, but I can snap some camera phone pics of the visible foam if you'd like. I broke the battery cover off my good camera and haven't been able to repair it.
