To find a decent set of real Can Can seats for $200 is a screaming deal. Wish it was local. More of them were used in the 911's of that era so they probably will go fast.

edit: here is my dads jcw for reference
it has more red, but you would have the red exterior to help tie it together

Those are NOT true can can red they have been redyed. I have can can red seats front and rear that was an option in my 944 that came in a Graphite Metallic exterior with black interior. Mine need a couple of seams resewn that I have been putting off for cooler weather.

Look close on the welt and you can see the red tinting on several areas of the cream welt. I believe these same seats were on ebay a while back and never sold.
They were dyed a darker red and there are many shades of red. The cream welt is not leather so if you use a 5" wide edge putty knife you can dye right up to the welt edge and move it down as you apply the dye. You use a more narrow straight edge for bends, etc.. The leather must be properly cleaned and aloud to completely dry, leather conditioner must then be applied and again aloud to dry and be wiped down. The re-dye can now be done and I use a lint free cloth to dab the dye on lightly and use several coats until I get the color I want. Several days in this process are required. I have worked with leather for a number of years, mostly western saddles and other western leather tack, belts, holsters, rifle scabbards, etc. all hand tooled and dyed. I don't claim to know all there is about leather, but I do know a few things.
