Hey Paul, ever do seats before? I have a nice set of 1-piece Momo seats that I'm considering having you cover in leather, & with the Porsche crest in the headrest: sound like fun? Would look like an older cup-car seat once done...

Hey Mark: is there a cover already on the seats? Good enough to make a template from?
If so, no problem at all. Sounds like a fun project indeed

Hey Stan: for the most part, I use a 3M adhesive that is rated for high temps. Then, the trailing edges and folds are glued with industial contact glue.

Paul, they're brand-new seats. I could send you one (before I install the passenger's side) for you to evaluate. Let me take a look at it tonight, see if it easily comes apart.

Hey Mark,

the covers will need to come off, but I can make templates from them without damaging them.

Hm, ok, makes sense. I need to prioritize things: wheels & tires are probably next on my list, but will be in touch: would love to have leather OEM-looking racing seats.

Paul, again how much for a pod and dash like that? I'd like my whole interior black with silver stitching.

So pod, dash, center console, and door handles.

How much?
