I, like many, love the Porsche LWBS. The only problem is that they are hard to get in and out. That is a small price to pay for nice carbon fixed back racing seats. But the issue is that you slowly damage the bolster leather of the seats and if you need to replace that later it is very expensive. The solve is to get leather covers of the bolsters from EdGuard. I decided to keep the GT Silver stitching theme and to add a couple more of EdGuard’s products. I picked up some seat belt loops to hold the belts in place as well as a headrest cover. I noticed when on the track with a helmet and HANS device you rub the headrest leather. EdGuard makes a short and full cover offering and given the car’s track us I went with the full covering. While I was at it I had him embroider the SVMC logo into the headrest cover also in GT Silver. Installation was easy (about 15 minutes per side) just follow EdGuard’s instructions carefully.
If you have haven’t read my other blog post, I also installed 6 point racing harnesses while keeping the street 3 point belts. To get the 6 points installed I needed a sub bar, I had to cut a hole in the bottom of the carbon fiber shell on the passenger seat, and modify the passenger seat cushion to create a slit for the sub belts to pass through.

This completes my seat mods…..time to hit the track.
