Answer A:

Good God, no!

Moreover you should never, ever take the thing out of the box. Or put any
film in it! Or leave the house with it! Or even LOOK at it. Put it in a
safe, NOW, and give the key to your lawyer with instructions NOT to let you
have it.

Answer B:

Take the plastic off the bottom, take a sander to it, throw it down the
stairs, and then go out and have some f***ing fun.

You will find both schools of thought are represented on this group.

Personally, I am no longer driving around with those plastic seat covers on
my car seat. No doubt this has reduced its resale value.
