Cig Bench Seat w/Fold Down Arms or Sit Down Bolster?
 

Anybody have any experience/recommendations on the bench vs. sit down bolster for the rear seat. Seems like the flip down arm rests would bounce all over the place.

i'd recommend the regular bench seat as opposed to the form fitting seats...the regular bench seats have drop down arm rests but we usually leave them up while running and stand...the other thing is that the formed seats usually have grab handles sticking out of them...and could make for a pretty bad day if landed on during some ocean running

Regular bench is the way to go. The armrests don't bounce around.

Any idea if it is possible and/or reasonably priced to retrofit this type of rear bench with the fold-down arms into an older top gun? Has anyone looked into this for application or pricing? thanks.

How much older? BLee had it done to his '02(03?) TG a while back. Came out really nice.

Would it be possible on a 97-99 gun? Thanks for your input.

Yes, look at this one...
