Let me try some before and after on the 2 bolster covers I have from you. I still need to order one last one for the big Gun car.

In fact, I asked him to help me with another project that we are scoping for these seats. This part is news to him but I scoped this project with two highly regarded Chicago upholstery shops over the past six months and wasn't confident in their level of service to the degree that I was with Ed when I asked about his interest. I'm looking forward to working with him more. Also, the man is on POINT when it comes to timely responses which I'm sure we all appreciate. I don't think he sleeps.
Ed helped me make some new inserts for my GT2 buckets. I went black Alcantara. Yea, not as exciting a choice but I like the more subdued cabin and the grip of Alcantara vs leather is on another level.
The difference in quality between these and OEM is indeterminable. They fit the foam like a glove and are a very rich Alcantara. His guys also made the console lid and I added a few other bits here.

Super happy with these. His guys created the pattern for the inserts from my cushions so these are nearly an 'off the shelf' option for us now. And he has access to some cool fabrics. So, if you're in the market, hit him up.

Thanks, Ed!

Best regards

Thanks to Eddie for confirming the thread color by sending samples. The bolster protectors took a few minutes to install and helped protect the LWBS on our 4,000 mile road trip. And yes, they look beautiful.

Just installed mine and it is a perfect fit! Thanks Eddie for being so responsive and thorough with the specs. The only thing you notice is that the leather texture is different, but everything else is wonderful! You can't tell a difference at a glance.

Thank you Ed. Just installed the covers in my new GT3 Touring. Appreciate you sending it all the way to Europe. Clear instructions, great quality and can't really even tell it is there as it looks the same as the standard trim. Exceeding expectations! Thanks again.
