    image.jpeg I added a lumbar support using an airshim from hardware store, some 6 mm fuel line I had laying around, silicone sealant and a couple of hose clamps.

    That doesn't look like a Gen4 seat. What air supply does it have to inflate?

    @bisco, I thought of you yesterday morning. As I drove tpe private road to park, my thoughts went something like this:

    "What is that car with the large black Lexus cowcatcher coming the other direction?"
    (sees logo) "Oh, it's a Toyota"
    (looks in rearview mirror) "Oh, it's a Prime. :cry: "
