Recommendations for seat covers?
Since I have had my 2005 8 for a week now, I am thinking about seat covers. Any suggestions on a good make? My baby is red so I probably want black...or maybe with some accents....

I have the factory seat covers, which are synthetic. I work out alot and didn't want to mess up my cloth seats. I like them, they are good quality and fit very well. They look cool too.

Factory are going to be the best bet. Aftermarket might not have the correct openings for the side airbags.

and yes $136 is the best i've found so far, but i bet the forum vendors can match or beat that price, all you need to do is to ask (a la PM)

Do the factory seat covers breath well? I sweat like crazy on the leather in the summer and would love some seat covers that breath. Can't find any custom makers who make for the RX8. Any ideas?

Bead seats lol!

I love how it has 2 colors and the sheik design. I'd rather sell broken pencils than try and unload those things.

Are the Mazda seat covers slippery? They look like Spandex

Having to reconcile covering up the unique rotors with seat covers is not an option for me. Is there anyway to tuck the material behid them or remove them and put em back after the cover is on?

I have leather seats and am considering seat covers. Leather isn't your friend in the heat or the cold. At least in winter, there's the seat warmers. If it only had seat coolers...

it's neoprene, so it actually makes the seat grippier for those high-G maneuvers lol

YES!!! I realize this is not an "easy" option to add and would have increased production costs...but I really hate how sweaty my back gets on a mild/warm day. And I'm not a big, sweaty man by any means (5'8" 135lbs). If only I didn't love this car in black, maybe it wouldn't be so bad!
