No pics in my camera, but we do it to make racing seats. It takes a little work, but the result is way better then those inserts.
Basically you would need to do these steps.
1.Remove all interior (fabric/plastic) in the work area. Once the foam touches any of those surfaces, the only way to truely get it off is sanding since acetone would melt the plastic.
2. build a bracket that will bolt to the existing seat brackets, that T's out, or has something for it to anchor the foam down. ( This will allow you to remove/install them if you may need to do work, and prevents them from moving around
3. Lay plastic wrap/wax paper in the area you will be filling with expansion foam.
4. Lay down layers of foam ( It will take several layers to build up desired height, and let it expand before laying next layer. Also make sure the foam is tacky when applying next layer.) The fumes from the aresol will make you dizzy, at all times do this in a ventilated area, or where a proper respirator.
5. Let it set up overnight to fully cure.
6. Remove the foam. Remove the plastic/ wax paper from the back of the foam, and put back in place.
7. Cut with hot wire/sand/grind till desired blend/style is achieved ( make sure you cover any part of the car exposed to the dust, and keep the doors open to ventilate, this **** turns to fine dust, and will make you itchy.
8. cover with desired fabric
9. reinstall interior
10. Profit
By the time your done, should weight the same/lighter then original seats, and WAY lighter then the wooden boxs. You'd also pay a fraction of what those cost.
