No problem. I will say, however... installing the covers is... both hard and painful.

Another thing to consider is that the Only944 kit is all vinyl. If you live in a hot climate like Florida or your summers get hot, when your car sits outside that vinyl gets really hot and will in some cases be unbearable to sit on. Leather or partial leather is much more forgiving.

That said, I don't recall leather being that much better.
I struggled with the vinyl issue. Fans will say it resists cracking better than leather... and based on how cracked my original seats were... this, along with the price, carried some influence.
I'd still love the Classic 9s some day...

It appears Porsche still offers upholstery for the vehicle, but very hard to see whether I have the right color.
Does anyone have a link to OEM part number description to these codes?

Pretty sure Kyle doesn’t do leather, only vinyl. Last time I looked the best 944 specific seat work was @lart951 or Classic 9, and I think C9 still does seats for the 944 they just stopped doing dashes.
Btw the kits sold by eBay seller Lseat are very poor quality and don’t last, amhik.
