... And for the really custom foamectomy follow the breadknife with the belt
sander. I put 50 grit on my belt sander. It makes it easy to sculpt the foam to
a nice cushy shape.

You can do a foamectomy on them on 96/97's.
Remove the seat, loosen the seat bottom cover from the rear. Use a breadknife
to cut the bottom of the foam that sits in the dished out seat pan. Then put it
back together.

I think that only works to '94. The 95 and up cars had a laminated seat foam
that makes this much more difficult. Or maybe it was the '96 cars that had
