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....

 

??

Seriously though. What do you have now? the fabric seats? are you looking for leather coverS?

 

Did you consider the Mazda seat covers?

 

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.

 

damn, putting seat covers on those nice leather seats is pretty ghetto.

 

yeah, maybe he has fabric seats.

 

haha those beady covers... hahahahah!@#!@#!@#!@%@!

those should be banned...

 

Yep, they're fabric covers. I appreciate the feedback!

 

I use these if I'm sweating from a run or workout

get these:

perfect fitment, and looks great, i have them, they are awesome

 

do you have any pics you could post?

 

Nice! Those are the ones I want but dang...$136 bucks, is that the best price out there?

 

i actually ordered directly at their parts dept for that price (they're like 3 miles away from work )

they *retail* for $180

 

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!

 

I'd get the ones with the Hawaiian flowers.
