What did you do to your GE fit today?
Well I'm 6' 2" and 205lb,
Soon as I removed that piece I noticed I could sit back into the seat more, not a huge amount but the over the top non adjustable lumbar support issue was much less significant, which felt much more comfortable, and as a bonus since I could lean back into the seat back a little more, the side bolstering seemed a little more effective. Not a night and day difference, but a noticeable improvement that I'd do again in a heart beat. I'm going to try taking the springs out that go across where it was tomorrow and compare that to just the plastic piece being removed.
I commute for work 45min one way, so this makes the car much more pleasant with the stock seats.
P.S. Just unzip the back of the seat, it's fairly self explanatory from there.

It’s quite noticeable, to jump from it all being there to removing all 3 components at once, it would be a very noticeable difference I believe. If you find the GE8 seats uncomfortable I’d highly recommend you try removing that bit, pretty easy to reinstall if for some reason you didn’t like it and wanted to.
