Arrow The Recovered Seats Picture Thread.......

Inspired by someone asking about recovering options.....

I would like to see some pictures of 944 seats that have been recovered. Everyone talks about these kits or options and I rarely see finished results. So this thread would be great for some finished seats, with info about what kit it is, quality, and difficulty to install it. Even if you have had a shop do all the work lets see some pics. I have never seen actual pics of the rennbay kit installed, and very few of the leatherseats.com kit.

not exactly a cover...

but my seats need to have some work done to them. I saw a 959 once and thought it had the greatest seats ever. the seats are similar to the seats in a 944 but the panels fade to a different color as they get near the middle of the seat.

heres a picture of what i mean.


i would want to do mine almost the opposite, where the majority of the seat would be the stock tan color. and toward the center it would slowly fade to match the color of the car (garnet red)

of course this would be a completely custom upholstery job... but still an idea for your thread here

Do a search and you will find a post from Sam Grant where I posted pics of a pair of sport seats that I recovered.

Few examples on 928 seats - no reason why he couldn't do 944 seats:

Jesse, is that a custom job done at an upholstery shop or did you buy a kit from somewhere?

I spoke with Travis about a month ago and he had mentioned something about getting full leather kits in... possibly taking the place of the vinyls. My Tan sports are gettin pretty sad.. I want new Black leather to go with my two tone tan/black interior.
