Default Carbon Fibre Bucket Seat Covers???

Hi guys,

I like to take my cars out on the weekends and get a jog/workout in while I'm out. This is the first car I've had with Alcantara seats. Was curious if anyone knew of a company that makes a simple seat cover for the bucket seats? Am worried about getting sweat and dirt on the seats post workout.

Ferrari has these thin polysester dust covers (see photo) that can be thrown in the wash and take a second to put on the seats if need be. Anything similar out there for Porsche?

Thanks everyone

I have a Porsche beach towel. I threaded a thick black shoestring into the corners and hang it off the seatback, laying it in the seat.

I’ve used the delivery oem white covers when I take it for service. I would like a better solution, blue jeans or sweat after a ride will stain the green alcantara.

I kept my seat covers from delivery of the car to the dealership. They velcro in 2 pieces and fit perfectly as would be expected. Ask your dealer to get you a set from the next delivery they get.

I have a set of these.

https://www.seatshield.com

I am generally quite saturated after a run. The cover works well and is very protective.

Towels will get the Alcanta fabric wet, sweat wet, discoloration and odor transfer are unavoidable with:

- towels
- the factory transportation white covers
- Ferrari seat covers

I'm looking for something like the SeatShield.com above but that fits the GT3 LWB seat. Or a Full Vinyl or Plastic replaceable center cushion, so the car doesn't get ruined* on track days or when coming back from a routine workout.



(*) diminished resale value and detriment to the next owner

Agreed! It's what I use now and have used in my Stradales and Scuderias. I don't leave them in there. Use them then take them out and wash them when I get out of the car.

I use this cover for my seats. It works great and is made of a nice, sorta alcantara material. Only caveat is the seat back will feel slightly damp if you're super sweaty (like after a 95 degree day outdoor workout/run), but I recommend it overall.
