Looks awesome! Who's the manufacturer and how much did they run you? Are they leather? Do they come in black? :-)

Is that 'sandstone' you have chosen as the best match for ecru?

what is protecting the seats from underneath the covers? some of these covers do more damage to the seats because of what's rubbing on the original seats from the back of the covers..

Amen to that! Years ago I purchase some very expensive seat covers for another make and model car to help protect my seats. The downside is the covers wore into the seats where the most rubbing occurred.

wait, so you're going to suffer through seat covers to keep the original leather in pristine condition...? Why not just enjoy the seats and deal with fixing/covering the wear and tear down the line?

Good idea but no more heated seats. Personally, I think seat covers are the things of 80's. Just saying...

The bottom of the seat covers looks to be pretty easy on the seats but I will checked and report back

The ECRU seats are a killer but just really tough to keep clean

Old thread but am considering whether to try to keep my seats mint, although it’s kind of 90s, premium sheepskin is really the most comfortable seating ever and possibly would look very nice in the whitegold ecru, guessing 500+ though, ihink I paid almost 200 for just the bottom driverside on an old Ls that had a ripped seat, the color closely matched the ecru

Are you saying your seats are mint now and need to protect them or you are covering damaged seats?

for what it’s worth, a couple of us have gone this route for a little over $300.

They are mint now, but this is not really just about protecting them, I just love sheepskin, reall high quality sheepskin is very cool during summer and warm during winter and they look great if made right, got my last one from Rocky Mountain sheepskins, very nice
