I'll see if I can get a good pic of my recovered seats, it may help you sell a few.

They are not leather, so you will not get the leather scuffs. When they get to the point of wear when leather would start to get that rough texture these will stay smooth.

The covering on that set looks more like the modern (like 996) Porsche seats I've seen. For some reason, I think the leather on our generation of cars is more stiff and textured than on newer vehicles (age?) but these really look nice!

These are a little softer to the touch (could be the age factor on our leather) but visually they match the rear seats to a T when installed.

Travis I was thinking of having the Ultrasuede in the centers. As far as who to supply the material, I know there are a few different versions. One is made for automotive applications, I found it at a hotrod custom interior site. I guess it really depends on how $$ it is. My interior is Black so match should be easy. I will research this more and get back to you on some prices. Thanks,
Kevin

You know, the ones that hold you in the seat by your kidneys on those 4-G turns.
Kevin~ Basically if you supply the material I can have my guys sub it for the center section. I can't take anything off the price because it's pretty base lined as it is but at least it will be EXACTLY what you want in the correct Ultrasuede and color.

We all know that the rears will NEVER actually wear out because no one can fit back there. As far as a color change to match the new front seats you could find a used back seat set in your new color for far cheaper than I could produce a recover kit.

Hey SFLRAVER,the pictures on your website look exactly like the pictures from inland imports,which is where I purchased the seat upholstry kits for my 911,are they the same?The quality of these kits is excellent.
