Default Blue Leather

How rare is the blue leather interior? I have yet to find a parts dealer that will sell things like sun visors or shift boots or anything in that color. Where can I get a OE blue shift boot?!

Yeah, that's what mine is. An 89 NA. But it has full blue leather, 4-speaker system, and the split rear seat. Almost got you. Now I just need to get out my mirror and see if my tranny says "ASH" on the top. LSD would be great.

We have in Estonia a 944 S2 that is dark blue w/ blue paint, blue partially leather interior and ten-speaker sound system. Quite nice combo IMO and the interior is in really pristine shape.

Why not reye the leather and repair what you have to like new condition? See http://www.leatherique.com/ and see what is possible. They can color match too. Not expensive given cost of replacement.

Yea, I am looking for a Blue center armrest. Not that easy. The wheel covers and shifter boot replacements from ALGA work fine.

I can second the quality of the AGLA gear lever boot. My car is a 90S2 with the blue interior and I found the colour match and quality spot on.

Be warned though, that there are two different blues offered by AGLA. My car has Porsche Marine Blue and the Dark Blue from AGLA was a good match. Don't know how well the Cobalt Blue from AGLA matches Porsche's Cobalt Blue.
