How well can you match the brown interior color of a 87 944 S?

I believe that is what's called chocolate brown. Both vinyl and leather are available.

Rob, How well does the cashmere(champagne beige) leather you use match the original out of a late 968?

Very well. We've done a few panels in champagne for the 944, 968 and 928. No color matching issues at all.

I'll be meeting with her this week. Once I have the embroidery done, I still have to tailor the cover. I expect it will be at least another week to 10 days.

Rob, did the customer send you a dash or did you source one for him?
How much is shipping to Europe?

Impressive work.

I sourced it.
Shipping is $203. I was able to get it in a 16 inch sonotube.

The dash Looks absolutly amazing. In fact I'm no longer going to worry about those creeping spider lines of cracks starting on my dash because I know that this is an option now.

Once I get mine back from him my current dash will be up for sale. Its pretty much in brand new condition with no cracks or fading at all. So basically you could replace your dash with a nice dash or send it off to Rob for some fancy fancy. $200
