This is the version I have for my car. I use a Safety Solutions/Simpson restraint. Keeps the CF safe. Never thought about the Darth Vader look.

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

I'm using the Flex too. Seems to not rub, but can't have too much protection!
Will do

In full disclosure Alan is the one who requested this version and it was his idea

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!

Just put mine on today. The cut out for the switch seems a bit large, but otherwise it fits OK.
Will certainly do the job!

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

I should be getting mine in the upcoming week. In the meantime, does anyone have a technique they use to get in and out of the seats to minimize rubbing against the bolsters?

I find if I add helium to my cereal it's much easier on the bolsters
