Default Help with LQ interior restoration 944

I've been beating my head trying to find a total carpet kit (high quality factory like kit) and leather seat recovering kit for my 1986 944. I have the LQ or light gray colored interior. Everything I find says Graybeige or Camel or Linen, etc. Has anyone with LQ color code interior done a full restoration lately that can help?


Classic 9 Leather Shop no longer does 944 carpet. That is all I saw doing a search here on Rennlist.

Thanks in advance for any info!

LQ is the two-tone black dash and trim + grey beige interior. I have not heard LQ called light grey, ever. LQ is definitely not linen or camel.

I have an LQ interior in my '86 951 and I assure you that the official color name is light grey. It looks like it should be called linen or grey-beige. But it wasn't. It was named light grey by Porsche. The color card from Porsche for 1986 only offers light grey. There wasn't a linen color offered until 87 or 88. Some of the color matches I've seen trying to match LQ call their modern color greige. LQ has to be the most confusing color name matching process I've seen for new owners trying to figure out what they have if they don't have the window sticker for reference.

Thank you for the replys! Anyone know of a carpet company that sells factory quality kits for the 944? Classic9Leather.com no longer does.
