For that price I wouldn't expect it to be leather. But it is cheap and may be helpful depending on how you exit the seat. I had GT2 seats and no wear on it after 3 years. No bolster however.

Let's hope vorsteiner has a more competitive price. They haven't returned any of my several messages though.

I went to the driving school in Alabama and the LWBS looked pretty bad. All the other seats in cars with more miles were in decent shape. I ordered a pair. I don't have time or desire to put in the effort to figure out a better or cheaper option.

Default Patented Design: Full Leather LWB Seat Bolster Protector GT4/GT3/RS/918/SPYDER

Thank you for all those who have inquired and have placed orders for our Full Leather LWB Bolster Protector design.

Its been a pleasure to assist forum members in maintaining the condition of these very special seats. Countless hours of development time and thought has been invested in these, but the end result has been well received. The next batch of these EXCLUSIVE OPTION LWB Bolster Protectors will be ready next week, and subsequent orders will begin to ship out. For those waiting on a set thank you for your patience as they are each handmade.

Many LWB owners have witnessed an abnormal amount of wear on the bolster, especially the small plain leather pad that sits directly behind it. A set of our LWB Seat Bolster Protectors being installed on a customer's GT4 pre-delivery to insure minimizing wear from the beginning.

Is it possible to order just for the drivers side? I never take anyone in my car as it is mostly a track / fun toy and it seems to be a waste to order two.
