If you have a good-shape original or re-done early interior I would like to see pictures of it. All colors welcome. My car is brown/tan from the factory but I am contemplating a color change now that the body is carmona red instead of mahogany brown. My DIY carpet has held up well for a few years but is hard to keep clean, so I'm looking for new options.

Spencer I found those pics of a redone early 944 interior, this was done on a black car but should be a good match with carmona red.

You need some early sport seats!

Love the way the light colored dash looks, suspect I'd hate the glare when I drove it. Pretty car!

I remember those, looks damn good but dding the car would quickly dirty that up...

Keep it brown , you don't see too many these days
Also it's pretty hard to find any color early interior in great condition , it's probably cheaper to fix yours , a dash recover and carpet from Classic 9 and you are set .

oh ****, that's the interior of Rocket's dreams.

add a brown leather 968 CS wheel and that car would be home.


Spencer.

i also found a semi-retired, leather interior specialist in Harrisonville, Missouri

who will do over anyone's interior bits including our dashes for about 1/3 what C-9 charges.

Then I guess they wouldn't be much options left to you if you worry about the interior getting dirty (black it will have to be or leave it as it is.Here my ex 944 after 30 years on the go lol.

Would it be jinxing my car to say that right now, for at least this one point in time, I have my 944 sorted out the way I want it. Everything works, no squeaks, new tires, engine good, fun driver, yay!

Here's my interior...

I quite like my all-black interior.

StoogeMoe

That's not an early interior. Stick to the rules!

You won't see a nice interior in my car. Move on. Nothing to see here.

guys.

i see people running nice wheels, big brakes and badass interiors with new seatleather, etc...

but for f_cksakes, get a paper route or whatever it takes—and ****can those god awful steering wheels for a classic Ernie CS wheel.

i'm effin' gonna throw up. and no !! there's no defending ancient fugly crap.

and the argument that the CS wheel is too modern for even the old '83s or the 924S cars is baseless.

if you must, you can mothball that **** up in the attic.


a couple of proper 944s with the goods.

Not sure where Harrisonville is but I live in MO. I am interested in this.

I'll be mothballing my fugly 4 spoke Sport steering wheel in my 944's interior, as I happen to like them. In all of them.

as for modernizing a 30 year old design with non Porsche wheels, steering wheels, stereos , and white gauge faces....... well if you want to, be my guest.

I prefer the patina of a well preserved original car the way Porsche built it according to my spec out in 1983, and take a great amount of effort to preserve its heritage.
Sorry to bust a nut, but you know, I like it the way I brought it home new from the dealer. Just sayin
But thanks for your helpful advice anyway. I considered it briefly, then filed it accordingly.
