Very nice. High five!

How do you apply the PORSCHE font to the leather?

Randy: the script is laser engraved in the leather. There was quite a bit of trial and error to actually burn the surface without affecting the leather's resiliance.

There was 16 hours of laser time in those inserts.

I'm actually not sure what I would charge for the lasered inserts yet, but the French seam covers are $1450.00 for both front seats. That includes reinforcements of all the seams and the crest engraving on the headrests.

Wow, That is great work!
I wish my seats were in poor shape just so I could have them redone.

There's been talk lately about cup holders and I was wondering if you could build one into one of Paul's extended center armrests. Make a two compartment/two lid(side by side) center armrest cover. Then you could use the first compartment for storage and the rear compartment as a cup holder with a built in circular ring when you open the lid. The extended depth would secure the drink but I don't know if it would be in the way of your elbow. Just a thought.

Spectacular!!! I have that script in the center sections of my 944 seats, and it looks even better in the car.

Beautiful work once again!!! Paul, are you still planning on offering a group buy on your seat covers when (or if) things slow down?
