IND Bolster Protectors

snyder268 · 11-13-2023, 02:57 PM

Hey everyone,

I wanted to post how these fit and look on my 2024 G80 with Silverstone interior. This car is my daily so I plan to take all the precautions I can. They just came in today. All in around $330 to protect the outside bolsters. We will see how they last and if having only the outside bother me enough to get another set.

I took mine off. Over time as you get in the stitching of the cover moves, which leaves a mark on the side thigh support themselves.

Make sure to not tie them to hard.

I’m still waiting for the Fiona red ones to come out.

They were released but looks to be sold out. Just shoot them an email and get on the pre-order list.

Wow! I checked like a month or so ago and I didn’t see it. Thanks!

Yeah, I posted about it in the “WDYD” thread a few days ago.

Had these in my M5 CS for about 18 months and really liked them. Although, the M5 CS has a darker interior so they blended a lot better.

For me, they were a necessity because I was wearing the side bolster a lot.

Same here

does anyone else make something similar? I've struck out trying to have a shop make me a set because no one likes to reply to fucking emails anymore.

I haven’t found anything seeming too legit. If you want to gamble with 80% of IND cost you can try these from Ali express. Ali Express

I have the tartufo buckets so I've been trying to get a couple of shops to make me a pair but after the first couple of emails no one wants to reply. I guess I could buy a black pair for the time being.

I ordered the Fiona Red ones last week and they look pretty good. It may seem expensive for getting 2 pieces of leather, but the quality and the match of the color is on point. Highly recommend
