This is what I'm worried about. I am trying to be very careful getting in. Kind of ghetto but I put a towel over the parts that will wear the most when getting in.

I'm afraid of wear on my regular seat base bolsters because I have to rest my thighs on them to swing even my long legs past the thick side skirts without hitting my shoes on them or cleaning them with the back of my jeans (uggh).

Like several people who actually did this, I'm now 100% I would have sold my car and re-ordered without carbon buckets if I had gotten them. For what it's worth, I was able to test drive one with the CB seats well before I ordered so I knew the pluses and minuses before hand. I loved the driving experience but getting out with the doors wide open in the dealer's lot killed it for me.

I thought this was lowered at first glance. Can't wait for my BSM.
Completely torn on tint % thought for Silver stone carbon buckets

Looks great! Please post pics of the build process.

Yea I was also thinking going that route!

I know it took me a while to decide since I also love my brother interior but in the end the murdered out look won over me 😂

Chief I can't email you no space. Please delete some messages lol.

Really like those... are those the OEM ones? Those things are like $1k each, no?

Mind grabbing some pictures of the full side with those on?

Added the AutoTecknic Dry Carbon Seat Back Cover to my G83. Really like the looks of them. Since I had the carbon dash it really brings that into the back seat. Fit is excellent.

luckylingy · 01-07-2022, 05:43 PM

Those seat back covers upgrade the look so much on an M4 convertible, where they can be seen when the top's down, or an M3, whose back seat carries passengers. I'm struggling to justify them for an M4 coupe, since I'm about the only one who will notice and appreciate them. They're still on my wish list, just not near the top yet.

Love it! Looks amazing!

I just put them on my wife's '22 X3M Comp the other day. Looks so damn good!

I'll have to get some when I get it outside. It's been cloudy and raining, here, all week. And on the price. I bought them from the classifieds section, on here.

Well…those seats are just awesome to sit in, and driving experience is just on a different level…that's for what they have been built for…I don't care if someone sees them

And I can say after doing 10k miles in mine, I have never sat in a more comfortable seat than the CB…if I get a loaner when mine is in service…my back hurts after a longer ride…but never in my M4

For me they are one of the main highlights of the G8X

The look awesome. And I bet I would have enjoyed them. Not sure if wife would have enjoyed them but she probably would have been fine after a while.

I'll be honest, with the convertible, vented seats was the thing that put me over the edge and decided to stick with the regular seats. Probably would have got them if they were vented.

Convertible in Texas gives you a lot of sun, a little extra cooling on the seat helps.

Yeah I can imagine that for a convertible the ventilation is a must have in very hot regions.

MannyS · 01-08-2022, 03:29 PM

Vented G83 seats do not offer much help with seat cooling during a Texas summer. The ventilated air is warm ambient air (e.g. not air conditioned air). Put the AC on high when the top is down in order to provide some cooling.

CAS_M3 · 01-08-2022, 04:21 PM

Installed front splitter from XXii Tuning. Quick install and makes the front end a lot more aggressive.

chicagofan00 · 01-08-2022, 04:59 PM

Gave the Purple People Eater a bath this afternoon. 😈

Also installed the Autotechnik carbon fiber front mud flap…yes, I said flap. Broke the clip for the one side and waiting on some replacement ones from Amazon.

They look good on your car. It would be nice if they made them for the rear. I am sticking with the TLG ones until they come with a set for rear.

I do like how it turned out. Hopefully they will do a rear set sometime soon. Would be nice to have the added protection.

Installed the BlackVue 900x plus dashcam today. Also created an installed guide with tons of pictures for those who want to tackle this on their own. It was very simple and easy to do.
