Default Burgundy Pod Refinish/Replace?

I'm looking for someone that either has a perfect or close to perfect burgundy pod for an 83...OR...someone that would be willing to refinish the one I have which only has minor cracks. I'm not yet sold on the either the vinyl/leather covers and especially not he dash caps.

Any ideas?

I went to http://www.kondratyev.com/porsche/products/pods.htm as has been recommended on this list, but he seems to be MIA.

Thanks in Advance!! I'm very new to the forum, but have been loving it so far!!

I don't doubt their quality one bit, but I was still hoping for a refinish of the existing pod rather than the cover. I'm trying to keep it as close to the original as possible and have some hesitancy towards the seams on their product.

I was also thinking that a refinish would allow me to more accurately match the existing color.

Any other pod refinishers you guys can think of??

The only two I would mention have been listed. I'm sure both can match your colour so close you won't be able to tell the difference.

I've got a burgundy vinyl pod in stock. Used but in excellent condition, no cracks. It's never been refinished or repainted.
From a wrecked 84 euro with 7K miles on it. I paid a lot for it several years ago, so I'm asking $540.
I have the matching dash too.

Not sure what you mean by "Burgandy- MY GOD MAN !". If it is the spelling, burgundy is correct, not burgandy.

I will check out that Dan!

Thanks for the help guys!!
