Recaro Classic C's rear seats?

[Fearon]

If one was to swap out the front seats to a pair of Recaro C's, what would one do to the rear seats?

I think the rear seats visually would look odd, has anyone added more bolsterage to the rears to make them flow better?

Thanks

I have seen W126 SELs with Recaro seats front and rear (extremely rare). If you are asking about E500E cars, the seat bottoms may make rear placement/entry very tight due to the extended Recaro Ideal C seat base. The W124 is the mid size chassis and does not have the rear seat room that an S class LWB car has. Just my thoughts and $0.02. Even on the AMG W126 cars, the vast majority (99%+) have Recaros in the front only. Doesn't look odd to me, but I am biased....

I was just thinking maybe adding some extra foam to the side bolsters on the rear seat base... ?

Do it like the Car and Driver tested AMG Hammer. They made the back seats look a LOT more recaro like after getting frisky with foam/
