Default Nuluxe leather

How is it holding up for everyone? I have about 500 miles and getting some wrinkles which I feel like is normal. Can the 2022 owners post some pics just to get an idea of what’s normal and what’s not?

You should be more specific. Wrinkles on the bolsters are pretty common. Especially if you are a fat @$$.

Macmaster....you never disapoint lol

OP .. I am 5'11 and 115 lbs and my seats don't have any wrinkles but from the pics, these appear normal from my small phone screen. I am more upset about the crumbs.

I will say that there are more wrinkles and creases on my actual bottom lol

My lower bolsters are doing fine, but there are creases on the upper outer bolsters toward the bottom. No amount of conditioning seems to help make it supple- I miss real leather.

Yeah thats pretty normal. I try to slide out of my seat without touching the top part of the bolsters. I've seen those crushed on Lexuses and I don't believe that can be re-formed easily.

Thanks all, I do make a point to not sit on the bolsters but I think it’s from me getting in and out of the car. I’ll have to work on some squats and find other places that will help not put pressure getting in and out

Conditioning won't do anything. It's essentially plastic...
