Does anyone make seat covers for the F8X cars?

I know I know, it's a terrible thought... but I don't exactly have a desk job. Well I do, but some projects require me to be out in the field and I can't always guarantee that I'll be clean when I get back to my car.

I picked these up not long ago. They look great and do a really good job protecting the leather.

I can't do it... I'm using the old lay a towel down method at the moment.

These don't look bad... They're from Corbeau who makes racing seats. But do the F80 seats have air bags in the side bolsters?

Was looking at these for GYM days, or if I happen to be dirty.

Front seat cover for F8x

I hate seat covers but i have an F80 arriving in July with SS interior and of all things im a dairy farmer, I'm rarely in the car in my work clothes but there is always the odd occasion where it just needs to happen, and a decent looking cover for the drivers seat would be a godsend.

Can't seem to find anything suitable online for the shape of seat in the F8x, anyone on here got one??

That's a great question -- I'm interested in the answer as well as a future Silverstone interior owner.

If you're only going to be in your car while dressed in work clothes on a rare occasion, why not just find something with good coverage that is easy to take on/off with compete disregard with how it looks? Just keep it in the trunk and put it on/take it off as needed. Nobody will see it when you're sitting on it.

That said, i have no idea where you'd find with a good looking or butt ugly easy on/easy off seat cover that are a good fit for F8x seats

My need is about 4-5x a week for a relatively short drive in the morning; I used two garbage bags in my previous car, but that seems very cheap for an F80. (Ok, it was cheap for a Hyundai as well.)

You could always do clear heavy duty plastic.. and just cut it yourself to fit. Then copyright the cuts and sell it on here.

I believe there was a forum on this a while back. But nothing ever came about it beyond specific side booster protection. Actually I started it

Roger that. That's more frequent than I assumed. I wouldn't want to uninstall/reinstall that frequently.

Have you looked at wet okole?

I have no idea how to keep anything clean but thank you! Because of your work I have a reason to buy these stupid cars.

I'm still waiting to get a 2016 so haven't tested this on an F8X yet.

http://www.amazon.com/Happeseat%C2%A...rds=happy+seat

I surf so I was looking to find something to protect the seat from moisture and sand as much as possible from my morning surf sessions but I didn't want something that was a pain to install and remove. This seemed like a good compromise and because of its design it seems like it will fit the F8X seat just fine. The lanyard (or what you want to call it) that goes around the headrest is adjustable and has a clip and the back of the cover for easy removal. It also has a rubber backing so I think it shouldn't move around too much.

Haven't tried it in any car yet though as I've given up on trying to keep my current car clean

Before your dealer does it's PDI on your vehicle your car should come with two plastic seat covers one for the passenger and one for the driver seats. I've kept these in my trunk on the rare occasion that I'm in soiled clothing etc.

Don't worry my friend, you won't be laughing for long.

I justify just about every stupid stunt I do with milk. I've calculated how fast the Dinan stage one would pay itself back by ensuring milk would stay colder in the transportation process. I've ruined threads by bringing up my country's biggest celebrity of all times, A.I.Virtanen to the discussion.

Now, I'm a realist. A man with the two best merits known to any woman in this forum has to have the perfect life already, and since I'm quite taken also, I'm going to propose we make the next generation meet, get married and produce us the perfect ///Milk grandchildren.

Don't worry, my kids will have so many mom issues by that time, they will never want me to visit. You'll be quite safe from me, as will be your clean car too.

I'll get back to this in ten years.

Minor details, we can build a pipeline so I can have fresh delivery every morning as a bribe to stay away. We'll work it out.

I have the black leather in mine, but my car is probably the most heavily and carelessly used of his generation. I wouldn't worry about even the white interior so much after seeing how well exactly this milk byproduct holds its own.
