I once owned an elderly BMW 5-Series that had hideous synthenic leopard-skin seat covers. I soon realised when I tried to remove them that they were actually holding the threadbare seats together. I decided to tell people that I liked them because of their comedy value but they generated so much static electricity even on short journeys that the dash-mounted bubble compass thought I was Magnetic North. I never really warmed to that car... Truly frightening.

I dont get seat covers, floor mats, alloys and especially not audio systems. I think it all just cheapens cars and makes them look tackier. I think one should be smart enough to spec the car how you want before you pay for it. This is horrible because the Audi R8's seats are a work of art. Well sort of. Also, I dont mean a sterotype here but whats the betting its lottery winners? I personally dont put ANY after market accesories in my cars.

Worthy to put on an R8! I had black ones on my old Skyline just to keep the aging fabric from getting worse from wear. But on this car its not understandable, if they are so concerned about the wear, at least get something more up to the level and doesnt block the side airbags from deployment... haha GO the AMR seat covers, it will be a nice meal for the promotion of this company… Worthy to put on an R8!

You can not beat the fit and finish of factory mats. They have clips to keep them in place and I like how they mold well around the seats and foot rest. It is an accessory that looks good and serves a purpose which you don't see too many accessories do these days. My favourite accessory would have to be factory car mats.
