Before seeing those pics, I imagined suede would look ugly on a dash. Now that I've seen a pic, I think it looks marvelous.

You can call me Paul, we're among friends

Seat covers with French seams instead of piping will be $1200.00 + shipping for both front seats, in first quality hides matching the Porsche color and grain.
And I'll throw in an engraving on the headrest if you want it.

A French stitched seat is more labor intensive than piping, but it does modernize the look quite a bit while keeping the same basic design.

These will be available in about 3 weeks. I will post pictures.
The construction of the cover is exactly like factory (aside from the French stitching in this case), so it installs exactly the same.

Thanks

Paul

Hey Mark,

if you are asking me, the answer is yes.
I will have a 944 specific price list available soon.

what about stitching together two pieces of fabric for each of the vents, with the stitches in the pattern of the vents. Basically adding a narrow .25"-1" ring on the underside of each vent opening.
Then, you would pop the bottom pieces of fabric through the vents as a sort of flange to hold the vent openings in place.
