Never mind, I see that he has replaced the interior.......can't say I agree with it though.

The dash look vinyl though. I have a leather dash but my instrument pod doesn't seem to be leather, though I've seen them in leather. Was that a separate option?

I don't know about carpet... but leather everything else is always an option. Porsche will do darn near anything you want for a price.

The carpet areas he redid in leather are actually rather appropriate. They are not areas where you would put your feet anyway. Nice job.

Wow, I thought my GTS was full leather! I like the additional panels they did. Good idea! I don't think they are all factory done though since he plainly states that the interior was redone

Guys, that is very far away from full leather. The pod, panel, centre console, ventilation grlls, buttons etc. is not leather. Full elather seems to be a very overused term.

you can call porsche and let them run the vin. They will be able to tell you the options and you can figure out if its origional or done later.

Anders true but still cool. I have about the closest I've seen to full leather, all in original Porsche 928 factory leather:

dash
Pod
roof
pillars
quarters
console
doors
armrests
cassettebox
cubby/glovebox
all visors
seats
rear saddle (yes I have an a leather ac console too but pulled it)
rear siat sides
parcel shelves
sunroof trim

Still needing leather:
sewn a-pillars
grocery cover
and recover some parts that never came in leather. I am not planning on the exclusive leather options because IMHO they are bound to fail

the seller states he spent $6k on the interior but doesn't mention leather, just that it matches better in his opinion
it is very nice either way
