SO Extended Leather

Hey, so my car just got a little over 400 miles on it and I noticed my driver seat side is already showing a crease line which is bothering the living crap outta me right now. I checked how I sit and doesn't seem like my big ass is sitting on that area whatsoever.

Anyway, if you guys here have any idea how to fix that crease line please let me know.

Damp rag and a hairdryer. Search youtube for more input.

Having said that, I'd leave it alone.

I think it is your butt. You need the M performance carbon fiber butt indentation deflector.

Just kidding. I already have multiple dings on my bumper, a tiny rock chip on the windshield, and my raw denim jeans keeps leaving blue dye on my SO leather that I have to keep wiping it off.

Just enjoy the car.

Haha, I think my butt is okay! Let me take a selfie and post it up.

Aw man! That would bug the crap outta me especially dings on the bumper and hood. Sorry to hear that and wow, I didn't know the blue dye would come off of jeans. I'm buying all black next time lol.

Thanks for the lecture

OCD is the main driver for my black interiors. I noticed the same thing on a SO m3 at my dealer it had 70mi on it used as a demo. That was the only thing that made me say no to SO.

Even black leather will have this issue.

Yes it will I agree. It just hides it better in my opinion.

I also love the smell of Zaino's Leather in a Bottle. People always ask how my car smells so new. That's it!
