Is it just me or are Boxster seats....

I replaced mine with Sparco sport seats. I had the same issue with my 928 and 911. Stock seats look good when new...but...

and thats why just in case I added an inch of padding all around plus some custom touches

I'm used to Saab Viggen seats, nothing gets even close.
The main issue I have with the Boxster seats is that they lack lumbar support and that the angle of the back is wrong for me. I have a bad back and the Boxster seats just don't do it for me. Maybe it is just the lack of lumbar support.

Your first picture illustrates the real problem with the seats in the 986 Boxsters: Note the position of the seat versus the roll bar. If you are a tall person, your head extends above the head rest of the seat and will hit that roll bar in a rear-end collision. This is why I had to sell my 99 Boxster -- wasn't willing to see my head get split wide open. Fortunately they rectified the problem with the 987s, which have a much taller seatback.

My 2000S is nice and comfy. After a few hours my butt needs a rest. It seems any car I owned, while on long trips, I always need a butt rest. Porsche has very little squirm room or leg stretching capabilities.
