I finally got around to ordering a set of Ed’s protective bolster covers for my LWB seats and installed them today. I have a little over 1K miles on the odometer and my seats are still in very good shape, but this gives me the peace of mind not to worry about them anymore.

As others have said, the quality is first-rate and a perfect match to the OEM leather and stitching. Installation was straightforward and you can tell a good amount of planning and engineering went into making them look like they came with the car. Ed was great and went out of his way to document the installation process and make himself available if I had any questions. I’d put these and clear side markers as must have accessories for a GT4.

Yet another well satisfied customer of Ed's protective bolster covers. The quality of the material and workmanship is on par with the OEM seats. I've shown the seats with the covers installed to several people, and no one knew it was a cover.

As an added bonus, I'm a 10 mins drive to Ed's home, so I did the pickup there with Ed doing the installation. You could say I got the "white glove" service.

Looking forward to the other products in the pipeline.

Chiming in as the 981st happy customer! Great product; even when I point it out to folks no one thinks it's aftermarket - literally factory quality and fit and finish!

Great job Ed, as you can see, even Mini Schnauzer approved!

Am I too late for this party? Curious if you have the thread color for the Spyder Silver stitching? It's a different color from the GT4 silver stitching.
Hi am sorry for some reason I didn't see this until now
I need to know what color silver thread you have ?
I have Platinum and GT Silver and can get any other color that Porsche uses
And no you are not late to the party
Regards

Keep up the great work!

Thanks Steve
I did like the way yours came out
I may have to get one of those made up as well....
We may have to have you come over, and maybe we can install a few items all at one time
Regards
Ed

Ed - what is the yellow marker at the top of the leather steering wheel? Is that your product, and if so - is it available in red too? Is it a cover for the entire steering wheel?

I'd love to see a photo of what the products look like NOT installed. It's hard for me to figure out what the steering column cover looks like before it goes on the car.

As always - nice work!

Believe me Ed - I was looking at the steering column, the clock surround, the glove box lid....all of it looks great!

Thanks for the specifics on the yellow marker.
