Paul
Simply stunning AS USUAL....it seems making me dream of a custom new interior is your mission in life!!! So far its ACCOMPLISHED.....

I also like the quilted look....I've seen it in person on some late Lotus Esprit turbos...looks VERY nice in person too!

Holy Crap that looks fantastic!

what's the going rate on a semi-healthy 25 year old's kidney on the black market these days?

Hey my brother needs a kidney... maybe we can work something out.

BTW, excellent work Paul! I've always thought that would be a nuce treatment for the 928.

Hi Paul. Your work is even better looking in person. I'm remembering the pasha seats we admired in Marble Falls.

Just a thought in seat style. Our 928's are unique in the one peice back to headrest construction. All other cars I can think of have separate headrests on extendable rails.

Have you ever thought of updating our look with a totally redesigned seat that incorporates the extendable head rest.

Yes, Randy & I drive a car that is stock but many update their cars. Perhaps this is one to consider.

Good job; as always!

The seat by itself looks very nice, and - as always - I admire your level of detail orientation and perfection.

I do, however, have a hard time picturing this in a Porsche - particularly in combination with the interior lines of a 928. I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Hopefully your client will post pictures when it's all done.

You misunderstood Nicole,

the seat pictured will live in a Boxster S, where is was before.

I will however adapt the diamond quilting to the design of our seats.

God I have always loved that look ever since I saw that stitching pattern in a Ferrari 575M.

If your going to do all that work you might as well get some sports seats too.
