Hello all, can anyone tell me if the enthusiast seat (lumbar/side bolsters) was available in the early Lebaron interior('87-'89) in the leather as opposed to cloth? Have an '87 coupe with grey leather and would really like the additional lower back support the lumbar would offer! Would the controls for these two features then be located on the thigh bolster of the seat itself and would the wiring be any different from a regular power seat? Thanks in advance for any info....

I have been thinking about the same thing. I see two options.
Simple is find a furniture reupholsterer. They can do miracles to make the seat custom for your body. Good foam and the right amount at the right location can make it fit your body. I'm 6'2" 220 lbs. The GTS has no low back support and the right leg is always against the console.
I switched upholstery on a Daytona enthusiast seat. You need the switch, the pump under the front of the seat and the two air bags. I would just get a ratty one and adapt the airbags to your seat. You can mount the switches elsewhere for convenience. The switch in the seat tends to rip the upholstery.

Thks looneytuner, are you pretty certain that the early enthusiast seats(GTC etc) weren't made in leather, only in the cloth materials?

I know for sure that you could get leather version in the Daytona. Pretty sure it's the same seat.
