I am very interested as well. $300 for both front seats in leather? I'd buy it today.
How much is it to get the covers replaced by an upholstery shop?
Cheers,
Sab.

The $300 seats are vinyl so I would need leather or I would feel like I'm dumbing down the car.

What's the cost of new foam cushions. Seems like a shame to replace the tops and leave the worn foam in place. Could stuff some old lunch bags in for filler?

THANKS Brent!
What if I only need 1 cover...driver's seat bolster is worn through.
Nevertheless, I'm interested as well! CASHMERE leather (1989 s4)...
Best,
Tim

The covers on http://www.rennbay.com/seats.html are vinyl. The ones on http://www.worlduph.com/porsche8.htm are leather. I only intend to do a group purchase on the leather covers. However I'm sure that if 10 or so people wanted vinyl it would be easy to set up. They have a wide assortment of porsche colors. http://www.worlduph.com/SAMPLES/porlea1.htm matching yours shouldn't be a problem. As of now we are talking $800 for both front seat covers.

I had my 4 seats retrimmed a while back and you need to be very carefull who does it. These seats the ones with the bolsters are right up there with a couple of others as being the most difficult seats to retrim of any car. I paid $4000 AUD fitted to the car. The currency has moved around a lot lately but that price translates to between $2000 and $3000 USD.
The leather, a german one swizer I think, costs about half that figure. So I can tell you that any covers costing around $1000 I would look very carefully at. There is a difference between car leather and interior or leather for your lounge. Also my seats have the perforations.

I've heard good things about the kits that World upholstery sells and I intend on having a professional install them (even though I hear you CAN do it yourself). Does anyone have replacement covers from World upholstery? Has anyone tackled this job themselves?
