So I've been slicing and dicing, and laying in metal rods to try and help replicate the original bolster lines. It looks like a few manufacturers were trying to bring another set of foam that would have the right cuts in it, but none is available and no timetable.
Yeah, for F bodies, the ACI foam is the best option.

For A bodies, Thornton foams appear to be the best option, and less expensive than ACI.

I bought complete seats from PUI for my A body, and they are terrible when it comes to the foam/padding. It's like sitting on an overinflated beachball.
