Paul is sending me the matching black bars to add to my exisiting back seats. As for the rear piping, there isn't much of it so I will probably just cover it with black striping tape. I don't want to dye it because some day this car may go back to stock. (it's an 89GT). Most of the time I have my seats folded down anyway..

Dave, those are awesome. They look better than new. I am glad to see people investing in their interior. I have seen so many cars that had great potential but the seats and such were in need of a overhaul and made the cars value diminish drastically.
How long did it take to get them?

but I made it clear to Paul that I was still driving the car with my original seats so I was not in a killer rush to get these done. Honestly, after seeing his work posted here I just wanted to get on his list so I bought a set of extra sprot seats and sent them to him.
I also got a chance to see a few pairs of his seats at SITM. He is truly an artist when it come to leatherwork .

every rear seat ive ever seen is hardly worn, like theyve been sat in a handful of times. (why would you really) Nice you dont need to get an entire new cover for the rear, but you can still have continuity between the front and rear. I really like this detailing. NICE WORK!

Paul is without a doubt the best. I'm working on a the details for a complete set of Pascha French-seamed black Sport Seats for my '87 now. After seeing some at SITM, simply recovering the seats with regular leather covers didn't satisfy me anymore.

I really like the piping on the 928 seats. I agree that it "dates" the interior, but that is all part of the look in my book. A personal concern of mine is the ability to get the piping straight. I've seen seats redone (not necessarily 928 seats) that have piping and it seems that most of the time the piping is all over the place, like a snake squirming in the seam.
Paul has nailed these. They are truly arrow-straight. Awesome work!

The contrasting piping was important to me because it would be period correct for a car of this caliber. I like the fact that the car is 20 years old so I don't really go for modernizing updates. So of course I'm also a big pasha fan.
Paul made the piping in real leather so it won't ever crack like the factory plastic piping.

Every time I see a new seat design from Paul I think "there's no way he can top that" and every time I'm wrong! ![bowdown](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bowdown.gif)
These seats are beatiful! You better be coming to the the Boston Shark Party in Sept....and bring a bunch of Microfibers to clean off the drool.

I like that look a lot. I'm thinking of the opposite effect - Black/Dark Grey seat materials with yellow beading and matching yellow inserts between the panels...
Paul has excelled again...
I do like the Porsche Crest - how is that done - is it embroidered or embossed/painted/dyed?

Shoddy workmanship but that's to be expected.
SOoooo typical of that expatriate Canuck.
Don't even bother unpacking them when they come. I'll give you 50 bucks, we'll split the shipping and I'll properly dispose of them for you at no extra charge.
P.S. Whatever Ernest promises you, it's a lie.![ducking](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon107.gif)
They look Mahhhrvelous!
Great work Paul.
My daughter, Kay, is getting married mid- August ( pain, grief, great expense, perhaps even extended debt .... But, a Champagne Interior is next on the list and WILL take precedence over the huffer plan.
Again, beautiful product!![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
