The issue was more to match the original grain- I found a "Porsche" vinyl called Palomino that has that lizard-y grain pattern to it, and the upholstery shop matched the color with a custom SEM paint- I didn't get the color code but it'll be close to Cashmere. The match isn't perfect because it can't be perfect- the original vinyl is variegated. But they look pretty good.
The worst part of the Pascha was a linear split in the driver's seat bottom cushion. They pulled it apart and backed it with some black cloth to reinforce, and made the split look like the seam, sorta. Again, not perfect but they're nice from 3 feet away. You can sort of see the grain in the lateral bolster.
#0021 is off to its new owner soon- he asked that I take care of getting the seats re-done, now it's off to the East Coast.

Turned out nice! I appreciate the info. I think getting the correct grain is a key component.

That prototype had some improvised tail lights as well. Note camouflaged PORSCHE lettering on rear bumper. I estimate this to be around "W10" in the prototypes. This car was brown, but various 1970s darkroom tricks (sloppiness?) have it appear in varied shades.
