I looked into both World-Upholstery and L-seat to recover my seats, The dark brown sample I received from World-Upholstery looked really good and was quoted a similar price to what was mentioned above. I did get a color swatch sheet from L-Seat of their cow leather options.....

L-Seat Color Swatches

I still haven't done anything yet since I need to get the mechanics of the car correct before the aesthetics!

Looks like this might be an option for some of us. Though I note that the colors seem to be generic shades, not Porsche colors. Since I am trying to match cashmere beige, I may have a problem. Flinstigator, how long did it take to get your color samples?

Looking at the seams and fit, I'm not sure if that's the absolute worst reupholstered seat I've ever seen, but it is certainly close!

I was trying to come up with a warmer, fuzzier way of saying it, but yeah, that upholstery is pretty terrible.

I agree with Greg - looks 'overstuffed' like the sofas in the 50's!

Plenty of vendors for this work - I know of at least four in the DFW area - are they as good as Classic 9 - border line - Tin Lizzy comes close but the price is twice that of Classic 9.

Tin Lizzie does a great job!
most of my 79 has been done by them.

Found another in DFW that can handle ANY 928 job..

I know of a shop that will be up and running by the end of the year that will rival anything that Classic 9 puts out.

Can’t share until they are underway.
