Default My new Paul Champagne seats are ready !!

A while back I bought a pair of sports seats to send to Paul for recovering. My only instructions were "linen with black piping" and I left the rest up to Paul's descretion. He sent these pre-ship pictures yesterday and I could not be happier with the results.

He is also making a set matching door inserts with black piping and a matching shifter boot. As soon as I get everything here I'm going to get a new black carpet set installed (currently linen color) before I install the seats. All of my original equipment will go into storage in case I ever sell the car and want to return it to stock. I doubt I will ever give up these seats !

BITCHIN!

love the detailing he does to the seats! In this case the "PORSCHE" embroidery or embossing inbetween the pleats!

BEAUTIFUL!

To say "better than stock" would be an understatement.

WOW!!! James is right...stock could not even compete with these, not even in the same stadium as these beautiful seats! HOLY MOLY! Paul just keeps getting better at his art! Did you guys notice the seat back release... OMG!!! I don't even think Porsche's exclusive dept could meet these standards of fit, finish, quality, and creativity!

Well done Paul and congrats Tass!

Did you do a rear seat delete? Just was thinking why you didn't do rear seats to match?

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?

They look great! I am a bit jealous... curious, how long did it take for you to get them? He is working on my interior as well. I would love to gauge when I should expect mine
