I'm sorry if this is clear to most readers, but what is the difference between the standard seats and the sports ones? Is it obvious? I'm asking because I think my seats look similar to the picture, but depending on the amount of variation, I'm not sure I will know the difference. If these would work for me, I'd definately buy them.

Thanks,

Nitro

The sport seats have wings in the shoulder area and larger bolsters. I would expect shipping to be in the $20 to $30 range, but I can get an exact quote if you pm me your address with zip code.

Here's a pic of the sport seats:

Do you have a comparison in the bolster sizes? Others have stated that the only difference is the shoulder wings.

Don't have the old seats anymore so I can't really check. The new seats are a more snug fit with my hips and lower sides, but it could be that the old seats were so bagged out they had no support left.

I've had that happen before. Two sets of identical seats from the same year, 2002, one set was owned by a larger guy, the other a thinner guy. Now the seats that used to be owned by the bigger guy are noticeably less snug.
