thanks!
Sorry I should have read this more carefully ....
You have Schwartz /Grau ?
I am interested, as I have both threads, but the Porsche configurator, shows the only offering is Black vs Black Gray ??
(of course among the other 11 colors )
Best regards

Summation of reviews: Only the first three pages of this thread

If you want to keep your bottom bolsters looking good these are a must. Most people don't even notice them in my car.
Super easy to install.

I'm not even a little handy and the covers went in super easy and look great. The best compliment I can give is that with the stitched center section these look better than stock and I immediately stopped thinking about the bolsters every time I get in the car.

i am picky and very skeptical
i have both Ed's version and Exclusive Option's version
Ed's is FAR FAR FAR better. the other one looks like diaper or loose foreskin next to Ed's version.
if you have bucket seats, you NEED THIS THING. thank me later.

oh, if you want the not so good version, my Exclusive Option one is for sale.
for my money, i buy Ed's.

Folks that know me know I'm one fastidious SOB, and I picked up a set of Ed's "Ed Guard" (LOL!) bolster protectors for my GT4, and I couldn't be happier with the quality. Ed even came over and helped install them! And they've been perfect since.

I really didn't like the "other option's" one-piece design. Ed's 2-piece design really blends into the stock seats like they're not even there. Looks completely OEM. Love it. Thanks Ed!

Got them too. Can't even tell covers are on. Ed worked out an easy installation scheme too with webpage instructions.

I am late to the party here but I have had these guards on my bolsters for awhile and love them. Showed them to a friend with a GT3 and he bought a set as well.

Top notch product and well worth the money!

Another happy customer!! They fit perfectly, install easily, and take away all of the fear of damaging or wearing out the bolsters. Ed was great as well...he gave me his cell number and reminded me several times to call him if I had any issues.

If you are the least bit apprehensive about premature wear on the bolsters, these covers are definitely money well spent!

Thanks Ed!!

For those who may be interested, I went ahead and ordered extra sets of Bolster covers in Guards Red and Platinum Gray
Turn around time would be a day or two at the most ... (While they last )
Best regards

Just placed my order. Ed is a gentleman and a scholar, he's gone way above and beyond to design them and facilitate ordering. Can't wait to get them installed.

That's why I now need protection for the protectors,they're too nice and I don't want to ruin them. LOL!

Installed my bolster covers today, instructions and service was great, took about 10 mins per side. I'm very happy!

*********************************
Mine are installed! Fitment is A+, can't tell they are there. Took maybe 10 minutes per side, and most of that time was being careful not to break the height switch bezel. Didn't even remove on the passenger side, just pushed the switch out a little and slipped the cover over. Boom!
Thanks Ed!

********************************
Took me about 15 min so I guess I'm slow lol
Excellent fit! Thx Ed for doing this !

i installed this in back in aug. ed and i exchanged numerous emails helping me. He didnt get frustrated or yelled at me. He is a great guy =) Ok.. that sounded like a 5th grader talking to a teacher.

Got a chance to install my LWBS bolster covers this past weekend. Pretty simple to do and looks great. I've shown some of my car buddies and they didn't even realize there was a cover installed. Very satisfied with everything. Can't wait until Ed releases his leather steering column cover. I'm patiently waiting Ed!

I've also noticed it's less painful getting my big butt in and out with the added cushioning of the covers, lol.

******************************
Forgot to thank Ed and wanted to say it was a pretty simple install with his instructions. Anyone with lwb's should get these.
Thanks Ed

Installed mine as well, the fit and finish is excellent. I highly recommend these covers! Thanks Ed!

Hi Ed - we are LOVING the bolster covers on the Agate GT4, and look forward to installing them on the RS once it arrives Jan/Feb.

For anyone "on the fence" - just get 'em. You won't even know they're there. OEM look but saves the wear. After seeing photos of seats with only a few thousand miles (that looked like tens of thousands of miles) - I got them right away and am very happy with my decision!

absolutely i love mine

*****************************
None of my friends have noticed them until I pointed to them. Great product especially if you plan to keep your car long term.
Alan C.
*****************************
So I took it and went a step further and added my race logo to these headrest covers
Ed has been awesome to deal with kept me informed every step of the way.
Buy with confidence.
Can't wait to install them.

*****************************
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
Type901
******************************
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.
