In summary, the seats are fantastic looking, appear very functional in terms of comfort and stability . . . but a royal pain in the ass to get into.

In addition to entry/exit difficulty, I would not be surprised if an early complaint of owners is breakdown of the lower side wing leather/upholstery due to entry and exist stress.

Observation and suggestion based on 'spy photos' acknowledged as hardly being facts.

There are a lot of bolster protectors for Porsches. I haven't seen any, but I'm sure you can find a company that makes one for these seats that looks very similar to stock materials.
