Not everyones cup of tea but I like it and the bolsters wear better in fabric than leather. The rear seat delete/package tray has worked out well too.

Just the rear seat project but I did reshape the seat foam to fit me better. The PO had a butt like the Olsen twins, I certainly don't. Those seats were why my previous RL username and still used on Pelican was '2Tight'

I would just go with all original. Just make everything in the interior more heavily optioned. Like it had all the options when it came out of the factory. Like sport seats, four spoke Porsche steering wheel, leather seats, ect. I hate the ricey look. It's a Porsche, give the car some respect. Ha.

As mentioned, KLA industries or Jager for Sub-woofer boxes. Or find an older KLA Spare Tire Well Box (NLA).

As the the late dash on an early car. Don't try, custom build something sure, however the setup is very different, and the easy answer is no, it will not work.

Also, I do not believe the 968 Door Panels will work on an early car, late 944 sure.

You can have Robb or Pual do the leather work. I would have loved to had one of them do it. But just don't have the money to do it. I also enjoy doing it myself. If you don't know who Robb or Paul are, you can find Robb's site here http://www.928leather.com/ And Paul's site here, http://www.designpaulchampagne.com/PorscheLeather.html.

The work they do is amazing!

I guess they pretty much do, but it's not the easiest thing in the world. I didn't do any stiching on the rear quater panels, or sunroof panels, ect. Because I didn't have to. But the door panel armrest, the dash, i'm guessing will need stiching. I've never tried stiching yet though. I think stichting is hard to to, but I don't know yet, haha.
