All right guys, come on now. If you want leather just go to one of the other guys and buy a set. I think there only $600 - $800.
This stuff is less than half the price. Feels just as good and lasts longer.
There are 4 pages here full of "are you sure it looks good," and "how good does it look." I dont mean to be rude but someone grow some ***** and buy a set (Michelle excluded ). I give you my word that you will be happy once they get installed. Only $299 to make your front seats look new again and your asking questions? Have a little faith in me here.

you could loosen one of the fittings back by the fuel pump to relieve the pressure and catch the fuel that drips out in a cup or something... but I just get fuel all over the place and let it evaporate. Someone once told me "Let it spill, God will clean it up in a little while."

Travis, I'll try to get some pics of my seats to post here for all to see. Mine are vinyl from World Upholstery.
They are very comfy, won't dry out and get stiff, and look just like leather. Most people can't tell the difference.

I'm ok with vinyl, was just curious about leather. I'm in college so I have to wait until the summer to be able to afford them, but how do I find out the color of my interior? It's tan, but how do I get you what you need to make it match? Thanks!

I'm with Ryan. I'm almost sold. I just need to know it will match the tan in my 85. Can you post color swatches?

I hate to keep mooching off world upholstery but I dont have my color chart put together yet. Use there pictures as a guide but MATCH UP OPTION CODES that are listed below the pictures.

I beleive that I also have the world upholstery replacements in my 87 turbo. The previous owner installed them in black like the stock ones and they're great looking. Really supple and you can't tell its not leather.

Just to help clear up this issue,I purchased a set of these off e-bay for the seats in my 911SC.The quality is excellent and the fit is excellent,I have never touched a seat before I recovered these seats and it was not too bad to do and for the cost it really is a no brainer,if you look at a decent set of seat covers you are looking at about $50.00 to $75.00,for $299.00 you get REAL seat uphoulstry,whats the problem?If you do a search I had posted the pics after I had done my seats if that helps.I have no affiliation with SFLRAVER,but I have met him and he is a stand up guy.My 2 cents.

rfuerst, please post your pics here or the link to your post?

I'd prefer a canvas type material over vinyl.

Do they have a tough canvas or cloth option?

Vinyl just seem sticky and sweaty.

Option codes are located in the spare tire well, up against the back wall of the luggage compartment and in the owners manual of your car.
