Default Newbie C4 owner here with questions - can you help?

Greetings,

I just picked up a red/red C4 coupe yesterday with only 7,500 miles on the odometer. Needless to say it is "as new" as it can get and I want to keep it that way. I'd like to buy three things off the bat to protect the interior and this is what I'm thinking.
[ul][*]Sill protectors[*]Neoprene seat covers[*]Carpet/footwell protectors (made of ABS plastic w/ carpet inserts?)[/ul]

Does anyone have any expirience with these items good/bad/indifferent?
Where is the best place to buy these?
Red neoprene seat covers and carpet protectors are preferred but not necassary.

I appreciate any info you all can provide.

Congrats on your purchase!

I really like those window shades that start is a circle then pop-out to two sections the size of your window. Just a quick twist of the wrist and they tuck right into the slot beside the passenger seat and the console.

Plus they have some really cool designs[8D]

When I first got our '95, I bought some of those chrome sill protectors from Eklers. They look good and help kep the dirt out. But you should consider them permenant cause the carpet gets kinds funny after a while.

When ya clean your carpets, remove the protectors, they can hide a lot of crud that will damage your carpet.

Chrome protectors from ecklers with the emlbem for like 65.00 REALLY dresses up the interior. Love to have them. Thats a mod I need to look into as well.Neoprene seat covers are a rip off. Get a set 200 delivered in your choice of matching leather/leatherlike material or something of your car. Looks FACTORY and brand spanking new and protects!!! Neoprenses IMO are not worth it!!! Congrats. Low mileage C4 hang on to it!!!

So what is the best type of seat cover or protection can I buy for my car? I assumed neoprenes would be ideal because of their design but I may be wrong???

Anyone - your thoughts?

Actually, IMO the neoprene seat covers should help protect your leather seats from damage if you are looking to keep your baby in mint, or near mint, condition.

In fact, that is the first thing that I purchased because leather makes me sweat. Do NOT get me wrong, I LOVE the feel, smell and look of leather. Just seems more comforting to my skin to have the covers

I looked up "Iggie" on Google. Ended up with some weird sh*t. Can you give a link?

Thanks in advance!
