Side bolster modification question
I've got stock seats in my 01 v6. They're comfortable which is good since it's a DD that sees over 80 miles 5 days a week. But when I have to corner hard I have an issue with too much space between the body side bolsters. Since I'm a skinny guy I tend to slide side to side and it's just really annoying. Most recently I had an evo driver chewing on my back bumper and the hard cornering was hell in the stock seats (guy lost his nerve after 3 turns). Is there anything I can do to make the bolstering a bit more snug? I've looked at both aftermarket as well as stock seats from other cars and nothing's really designed for us skinny folks. Only thought I've had so far is to make some custom pads that would be strapped to the seat. I'm thinking cold cure foam like what's in my need for seat maxnomic office chair I bought for work would be perfect for it since it's so darn comfortable.I figured somebody else might have had a similar issue and have some recommendations. I also have no problem with modding any seats to fit from other cars that might solve my problem.

I went to the junkyard to do some seat sitting, the trans am seats are pretty darn close to the camaro seats. I wear a 30" waist if that gives you any frame of reference how slim I am.

look through aftermarket seats and see if anything looks like a good fit. one of the guys installed some racing seats and loved them. it was a while ago so im not finding the thread yet

Wow, 30" waist, that takes my mind back to grade school. Have you thought about one of these...
OOPS!! wrong picture, lmao. I meant something like this, cushy enough to wrap between the bolsters:
