I put a couple of JPEGs up on http://home.centurytel.net/Sapphire-Designs

--- The Gen4 Sable seats are firm (good, new foam) and have some side
support, though not inflatable bolsters.  That's not a concern for me
because when I autocross the car, I will temporarily transfer the Kirkey
racing seat from my other SHO.

--- The Sable driver seat has an adjustable lumbar support; however, it is
mechanical (operated by a big knob on the front of the seat), not
power-inflated.  The passenger seat does not have adjustable lumbar.

--- Both seats have power for forward/back, front up/down, and rear up/down.

--- The headrests are adjustable for height but do not have the tilt
capability of SHO seats.

Look, I'm not trying to promote this swap to anyone else.  I got lucky
getting these seats for a song, and in a daily driver, they are fine.

Would it be possible if you can take some pictures for us?  That would be
great.  I would like to see how it would look like, once installed on your
car..  :)

PS. What are the added benifits of the Gen3 and Gen4 seats other than being
newer and cleaner?  Don't you loose the Side Bolsters and such?   Just
curious..  Otherwise, I would love to upgrade as well.. :)
