Anywhere in the San Jose area to test fit seats?

I'm not sure if any of you guys have any seats for me to test fit, but I'm looking to pick up a new bucket or reclinable seat with very good bolstering. I really want to get some Recaro Speeds/SPG's/Pole positions, Sparco Evo2/Pro2000, Bride Cuga seats but not sure where I could go test fit. I've sat in the Profi SPG and it fit me like a glove.

I just want to test around to see what my options are.

Bascom Trim and Upholstery - near Aldo and Lafayette in Santa Clara. They used to have a large selection of seats just for the butt-test thing. Might want to call and make sure as I have not been there in a while, but they used to have tons, just for that purpose.

Are there any good places around that can customize stock seats? Add some bolstering, change the seat length and etc... Not looking for something cheap. Someone that do custom work on sport/race seats...

Thanks!
