I did the installation of all of the ones in the pics. Of course the covers come uninstalled.

I like what I see...A LOT!

Put me down for a classic grey if it's available. Now about those door panels...

Rob,
Wow-thats some of the nicest stuff I have seen. Can your leather guy use colored stiching (say silver or white). Porsche offers contrasting stiching on the newer cars and it is stunning.

Thanks Rich

Yes, he can.
I haven't been able to reach him yet to confirm he's interested in doing more covers. He was in Florida for the winter I think. Hopefully I'll make contact this weekend.

Hi Gang...

I'm a "half-brother" from the 944 forums. Does this guy do 944 Dash Covers? How much are you paying for the 928 Dash Covers?

TIA

He can do them, but we don't have a pattern for a 944. If you send me an old leather or vinyl cover that's halfway decent and a dash core, I can make the pattern and fit it.
The prices back in 1/2004 were
335 Dash cover
220 Console cover
70 A Pillar covers (GTS style with sewn double seam)
40 Glove box

All genuine Porsche leather. I may have a line on someone that will do them in vinyl which may run about half the cost of leather.

Damn, Rob. Your pictures are breaking me down. Count me in for black (with black stitching). I'd be interested in a pod cover too if you can get that done. And like Tim, door panels as well...

Did you just leave you pod vinyl.

Those dash pictures don't look like they have covers, they look like a new dash! What did you use to install? Some type of 3M spray glue? I assume you removed the old leather from the dash first? How many takers for burgundy, I may be in for this.

Its been a couple of years since I did those. I used a professional grade contact cement, don't recall the brand, but I'll find it again and post it.
All the leather and glue was removed, cracks filled and the vinyl was roughed up with coarse sand paper.

So far we have a smattering of colors. I haven't totaled anything yet since I haven't heard back from the guy that makes them.

brown, black, navy blue, grey and your burgundy.

Color samples are here

Will this cover fit over the molded dash? I've got such an item installed right now, kinda hoping it will be a simple cover-lay style installation.
