Yes, although not as much as if I used the original full-height seat bottom. I plan to use a pad about 4"-6" thick as the seat bottom upholstered in the original style seat material. It will be sitting on the lid of the traction battery drip-proof chamber using Velcro strips. Keeping things dry in a convertible that was originally designed to channel rainwater inside of the fenders will be challenging enough!
The interior installation is over a year away. My plan calls for 2016 to be all welding and body work. That will keep this engineer happily busy cutting and fitting out in the garage.
