Same here, ordered the seam on the red stitched buckets, and same now on the yellow stitched buckets. Feels it flows better as it just follows the lines from the lower bolster all the way through the side 'love handle' area.

Just installed Eddies bolster protectors on my new GT3 RS

Easy install and matches the OE perfectly.

This is my first lightweight buckets so they will be put to good use

Do you have a website. I was interested in the LWBS Protective Covers. Thanks

Interested in Bolster covers, and headrest covers...

Can the Weissach logo be stitched on to match the seat?

The hardest part is getting the leather to fit around the switch cut out, but I used an old gift card and pushed the leather behind the bezel like Matt from Obsessed Garage did. Then it was just getting them nice and snug around the bolster by playing with how much you stretched it and sitting against the velcro.

I'd glad I got them for my Euro Delivery trip as I got in and out of the car more than I would back home for photo stops and when we stopped at different view points. Even after 2300km, the bolster cover themselves looked brand new, no creasing or stretching.

Highly recommended and worth every penny Eddie charges for them!

The feel of the leather and the craftsmanship are just like from OEM.

And Eddie is the friendliest and most professional guy to deal with..

Thanks Steve ... Beautiful car !! It's honestly such a pleasure dealing with my Rennlist buddies .... They are all car crazy like me

Ed,
the switch covers are harder to get back on my new LG RS covers than the ones on my old 991.1 GT3 or my GT4


I know that in a previous post you said the early ones were made to tight...
is is there some trick to get them back on? Mine were made back in the summer but the car just got here this week

Just stopped by Ed's place to pick up my GT3RS protective bolster covers. Ed took time to place them on my seats in a rainy day!

These covers honestly look better than the OEM, and can't tell that there is an extra layer of protection.

Thanks, Ed for an incredible product, and even more impressive service!

Hey Guys
I honestly am not trying to be a D#$%. I appreciate your patronage and loyalty, but when it comes to selling your covers, maybe you should post them in the classifieds ?
Again, not trying to sound ungrateful, but I just think it's inappropriate to sell something on someone else's thread ?
And Gasman please don't take this personally ( not my intention) , you are not the first....
Kind regards
Ed

This is like trying to list your car on your dealers website.
