They cover a large area and served as "training wheels" for me as I figured out how to get in and out with minimal contact. They will bunch up on the inner thigh support at times so it's not an ideal long term solution.

Interesting concept: Training wheels.

I like it

I have decided to put Xpel over my CF sills. I noticed when I look at them on a certain angle I can see scratches. May be they can buff them and cover them. With these LWB I notice I have more contact with them then in the regular seats- am I nuts??

lol, before you posted that I had a similarly related thought. I was looking at EXclusive Option's site ready to pull the trigger on the black leather and thought, hmmm Garnet Red might actually look beast! It would be an accent almost like a Storm Trooper Officer.

Yes-slightly and that is the issue. Not a big deal but going to Xpel them.

Do these have a giant logo embossed into the side? I didn't see that on the earlier pictures, but the most recent one looks like it. Those are horrible, if so, especially considering how pretentious of a name "Exclusive Option" is.

Never noticed it before. Thanks for pointing that out. It doesn't "scream" at me in terms of placement, but if I were ordering these I'd want it sans logo.

I just looked at the earlier photos of this thread and don't see the embossed logo on the strap. This must be a new thing.
