Maybe you could sew linen-colored cloth over the red part of your seat covers? I'm a big fan of the black/linen interiors myself. I like my all-black, but I like the contrast.

Those covers are Wet Okole. I checked their webpage. The closest I could come to that color was white. I could get some that are all black. I think that would work. I do like the black and linen interiors too. I like the contrast better than all black.

go all black. It looks complete like that.


I have the tan interior with uppers in black. I like it much more than straight black, but I think it 1/2 assed to mix these. I do run black floor mats.

I am doing something similar...
For me, the stock cream/ black interior had too much cream. So, like you, I also painted the lower half of the dash black (from its original cream color). The doors (just like yours), carpet, and cream seats were all left untouched. For the console, I replaced the original cream one with a black one ($25 for a mint one off ebay... what a deal). But for the console, I replaced the black arm-rest pad with the original cream one. So, the whole console is black, merging in to the lower now-black dash, with the cream arm pad. It actually came out really slick, and not like any other 944 I have seen.

Pics! We need pics!

How do you paint the dash? What kind of paint do you use? I have the linen center console but it needs repainting. I'm leaning towards keeping the linen/black doors and just changing the seat covers.

Painting the dash: There are paints made for dashboards (even Walmart sells some). Just take out the middle console (i didn't have to paint mine since I got a black one off ebyay), mask the upper and lower portions, and spray. It is just that easy.

Changing interior: The car comes with the linen/ tan speaker covers on the doors. It looks better to change those out to black (that's all I changed on door). I have grown to like the stock seats. Mine came to me in very good condition with only a very small seam break on one. Considering how comfortable they are and the "Porche" logo on them, they -- like I said earlier -- have really grown on me. That being said, if I ever found some 944 black-leather sport seats for cheap I would likely change them out.

OK, I love the deviating interiors too- trying to mold my all-black into some sort of combo, but want a lighter upper dash too- here are some p-shopped pics that Testerossa did for me- this is champagne instead of linen- would sort of like to p-shop these to all linen so I could compare- I'm considering doing this w/either linen OR the light tan (champagne)- you could get Rob Budd to make some dash covers- he's got a big price list- could also dye the parts you want- I'd do the okele white covers to contrast in the seats if you were going to though- the red looks nice, but I agree it';s not as good w/the white panels, etc... Also, Greg East dyed parts of his interior from black to champagne- AAMOFF, this is his car in the pics- his dye came out great, but I'm leary of it for several specific reasons for myself... anyway- the bottom pic is of Greg's car- he's posted pics of it here before, so I doubt he'll mind- he's constantly adding new details, but this gives another idea of how you can mix & match things...
