Apparently,i get the first one free

Those are available, i had a semi solid set for my 924S, I got them from pelican and they were great. That said pelican pales vs Kyle, hes a cool guy and stands behind his product.

I saw these a couple weeks ago on his site. This is my current plan for my interior.

Thanks for pointing this out. I promptly ordered one.

+1 for Kyle.

I just ordered his short shift kit for my 86 Turbo. Hoping it will tighten things back up again as the shifts have been feeling sloppy.

Looking foreward to a set of seat covers, shift boot, and possibly center arm rest soon.

the console cover I received fit so well that I never glued it.

if anyone gets the shifter boot, kyle's sewing method works great to make it a smooth install

So far I've gotten
  • Inner shift boot
  • Outer shifter / boot cover
  • Rear hatch seal
  • Seat re-cover kits
  • e-brake button

And probably some other things from Only944. All of it's been great, shipped really fast.

I interacted with Kyle via email on Friday, he's sending me 3 different swatches of the red/lobstah red, and cancan seat cover colors.

I'll post pics of the swatches compared to my current seat color to help any potential buyers looking to replace their seat covers with Kyle's covers. Stay tuned.

Just got my short shift kit installed and I'm very happy with it. The shift kit seems to have restored the crispness of the shifts and tighten things back up again. I can now shift from 1st to 2nd in a reasonable amount of time! When I removed my old linkage assembly you could tell it was tired and it was due for replacement. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. The instructions, build quality, and completeness of the kit were very well thought out and made. Anyone try one of his leather shift boots? I'm thinking that will be next. Curious how well the black matches.

I will be making a video on youtube regarding the only944 shift kit if anyone is interested. Just check out my dan87951 youtube page. I should have it up by the end of the day. I got a GoPro recently and have been playing with it. No disputing the fact I'm a newbie and video production but it is kinda of fun playing with my new toy and making videos.

Swatches for the 3 red's and the black came in today from Kyle. As promised, pics of the 3 red's kyle has available, along with black laying on top of my passenger cancan seat.

Perforated Red = red
Rectangular Red with squared off corners = lobster red
Rounded off Red = CanCan Red
