Today I enjoyed my Carrera T with its new Pepita houndstooth LWB seat covers from Classic FX. I wanted to convey to you all that Garry Hall is great to work with. He told me that he can access fabrics from all the car manufacturers catalogs, here is one of his European suppliers: https://westtrading.nl/autobekleding.../merk/porsche/ One can get caught up in memory lane looking at all the examples of fabric designs across all the many tagged brands. VW GTI Clark design is tempting.

I was debating tartan designs, racing striped color combinations, etc. But my desire to go 1970's era with my car pushed me to the Pepita, and boy do I love how it came out...

Garry is your guy for quality work, excellent support for advice and help, and has the best prices by far. Here is a link to his site: http://classiccarrestorationsurrey.c...-seat-inserts/

They look great. I purchased a set in the same fabric but struggled to get the base seat fabric stretched over the front of the seat and onto the metal lip under the seat. Did yours fit ok?

Also, where did you get the 911T badge for the dash - that looks great.

For the seat fabric, I purchased mine from Exclusive Option (great company and product) and the clip that secured to the carbon seat was a rubber edge trim with metal lock. I had problems too. I places seat cover on hard surface and ran the tip of a screwdriver along or inside the edge to open it up. That made it lot easier and still secures and lock the cover to the seat. A little WD40 on the carbon edge could help too.

Check out this video @ 5:30. Garry shows his technique for dealing with the front of seat carbon lip with the seat cover.

I ordered my rear deck and glove box 911T badges from here:
https://www.aasesales.com

That said, I no longer see the 911T badges, or any of the many others they were showing a month ago on their site. Worth calling and asking IMO.

A Google search for "911T glovebox badge" shows a few alternatives such as: https://www.ebay.com/i/332965101283?chn=ps
