1) Driver side seat foam
2) Driver side upholstery
3) in-line heater valve

Parts cost: about $344
Shipping cost: about $44

Really? What happened to things like free shipping on orders over a few hundred bucks? I think a reasonable shipping cost might have been $20 at most.

I'll bet everything could have been stuffed into 6x12x18 box easy and the weight would be nothing.

Just saying - I'll start looking elsewhere........
cyber104, the shipping cost comes to $44.00 including oversize for the seat foam. The seat foam is actually in a box measuring approximately 32"x22"x13" and weighing about 10 lbs, depending on which manufacturer you go with. Late second gen f-body seat foams are quite large and cannot be folded into a small box. The seat upholstery is shipping separately and will come directly from the manufacturer. We are always willing to help with shipping wherever we can; sadly this is not one of those cases.
