Karl, I had some work done to the seat in my Porsche and i asked the upholstry shop to install some lumbar foam. Instead, the guy suggested an inflatable bladder that is made for this. I had them do it and i like it. There is a little bulb on a tube that i can pump up or release. Ask around the upholstry shops in your town.
