Depending on the gels thickness in comparison to the seat foam, you may have a difficult time removing the proper depth of material from the seat evenly (cutting up foam sounds easy but it's a PITA.)

I would either recommend an upholstery shop to do the install or go with an aftermarket seat.

Sometimes the cheaper route isn't a better route.
Well, I get your drift- I do.
I just really enjoy putting time and effort and being like, "WOW, I did that"
No, it's not something I would finish in a hour but with enough effort and patience I do feel it could be pretty epic.

It's not mainly about the money to me, just like doing stuff myself.
