What is best rear seat area cover?

Like to take my dogs with me sometimes but need to protect rear seat area.

Oh, and what is best way to protect door sill from scratches going in and out?

I got to see an i8 with carbon fiber wrap on the door sills when I went to visit Heidi and Franny's Garage in Denver. It looks pretty good. You can still scratch it, however, so you have to be careful. Regardless, it's cheap to replace. I put a clip of their carbon fiber wrap in my video around the 5 minute mark:

I can't imagine there's enough demand for anyone to develop it as a commercial product. Very few of us ever carry animals in the i8. You'll probably have to contact a local shop to custom craft a cover. But... you might get 5 or 10 others who would then make a purchase from that shop. Might be worth their time.
