Installed CF Seat Back Covers
Just finished installing CF seat back covers. Install very straight forward with 3M and fitment was very good. Waiting for CF rear vent cover to arrive and then that should be it for the interior as far as CF is concerned. Installed pics and pics of little helpers who helped clean seats before install and peel-off 3M tape in prep for install. Little hands/fingernails come in handy when trying to peel off red-backing from the tape in tight places.

Thanks. Got them from company called BocaDesign and fit is perfect. Took literally 30 seconds to install cover once tape was ready. Price was way less than others than those in market < $850 shipped and cleared to Europe.

Hi Matt, great meeting up finally and thanks for bringing the covers. Quiet morning so I thought I would install these as it didn't take much time. Post pics of the CF trim I gave you if you installed it. I think it looked good with your interior. Your car looks great with the black-out look.

Hi, thanks. Carbon Kit? You mean for interior or the CF hood with vents from Stone Carbon? The CF interior kit is installed and I posted pics. The hood should finally be in this upcoming week and get installed.

No, pure molded CF - 3M tape strips to attach the covers to the back of seats but covers were CF through and through - no overlay or wrap. They were fairly thin which allowed for snug fit. I should have taken a pic of the inside of the seat where you could see Cf weave etc. Attached is pic of them been unpacked. That single piece is both seat covers together. Other pic shows the seat cover from mold at factory..hopefully you can see the thickness of the covers themselves from this photo.

If you guys like these I could ask the manufacture about GB...if there is interest I could see what final price is and let you know. Would need approval of mods on this, but let me know if you are interested by PM.

Looks sick & amazing good price. Did you have to remove anything from the seats (i.e controls) to install these?

Thanks. Did not have to remove/cut anything at all. The covers are perfect OEM fit and have cut-outs where side-impact bags are and where controls are. The covers are exact match for the OEM plastic seat backing. Literally was peel the 3M and attach to the seat. Took less than 30 seconds to install each cover.

price was with VAT, shipping and customs fees, but another member I and imported some stuff together (including the covers) and had a lower declared commercial value for this reason. VAT is across all EU countries and varies from 18-20%. Drop me a PM.

They look amazing Harrower congrats. Do you live in Prague or Virginia I'm confused? And If you have a US spec car in Europe, can you drive with red signal lights without a problem?

Thanks. I live in Prague but the car is titled in Virginia. It is a US spec and I have had no issues at all with red signal lights or anything else for that matter and have not got pulled or ticketed for anything like this at all. Have had police around the car all the time when driving and they don't seem to care about these things. If I were to title it in Czech Republic, then there is a list of modifications that I would need to do to meet Czech road specs but since I keep the car titled in VA there is no need.
