no affiliation, but if not torn, not bad for $200

Now if they were only sport seats... But then they'd be super expensive.
Definitely not bad for $200

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.

would these look horrible in a black interior car? lol I've been wanting new seats.... To bad they are not Pashas (my true love)

it would look great in a black interior car... all you have to do is add a few red accents to the doors and dash areas and of course redo the rear seat in red...

i think they could look GREAT in a red car with all black interior. maybe do some other red touches as well

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.

You can always re-dye the leather another color. $200 is a great price.

No worries on the rear seat, i took that out forever ago for these...

Not trying to argue but if they are not true Can Can seats why would someone bother to dye the welts yellow? The welt material is synthetic and very hard to recolor. Are you saying that those seats were originally Can Can and redyed poorly or a full color change from say a grey beige seat? Could it be just the photo? I know Guards Red never looks the same from one CL ad to the next.

I was thinking they looked factory too.

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.

Cool - thanks for the info - it is also hard to see these seats in the little pics so details like that aren't very apparent.

The welts on the can can seats are originally red. After time they fade to a cream-yellow color. So the parts of the welts that don't see the sun usually stay red.

Im going to look at them tonight, ill post some hi res pics if i get them so you guys can figure it out lol
