Lumbar Support

Hi,

Id really like to get some kind of lumbar support for my lower back. Any suggestions for what works well with our car seats? Anyway way to get something in the seat itself so its not exposed?

Thanks

Re: Lumbar Support

sounds stupid but try a very small pillow first.  find out where you like it on your back and then look for products that replicate this.

You want to move on.  You got a lot of headaches here you don't need.  Miami, it's very humid in the summer.  You got all these people you have to manage.  Plus, your place is on fire.

Re: Lumbar Support

Our seat covers do have the zippers in the back, I wonder if you could get something like this to work?

Re: Lumbar Support

Didn't Ixiz add something like this? Along with increasing bolster size?

Re: Lumbar Support

I do recall someone on this forum actually did that. I can't recall who.  I guess time to use the search function.

Re: Lumbar Support

I picked up a cylindrical lumbar pillow from my local warehouse store and wrapped it in black alcantara to match my 08 STi (which I later sold).  But the pillow was $7 and the cloth was under $2.  Plus thread I paid under $10 and it looks nice.


Enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything-

That looks like a blood pressure cuff. You could buy one for $18 on Amazon:

It's very easy to remove our seat covers and put them back on.
