The eBay person in Latvia is great. I’ve bought several leather interior pieces. I’m changing out all my leatherette interior to leather. Takes some time to get Porsche used leather parts but I’ve done it! I bought a few new. I’m pretty sure changing out the way I did it was much cheaper than having to pay for Porsche leather originally. I didn’t do the dash top though. But I’ve seen part outs where I could have bought it. Replacing that piece is beyond my pay grade though.

Do you have any experience with this? It's insane how much cheaper good leather work is in these small Eastern Europe countries. True craftsmen but actually affordable. I'd love to get a set of 18 way seats he's selling recovered in Platinum leather, ideally with contrast stitching.

He also has a full espresso/cognac interior that I'd LOVE to swap in but that's instant divorce territory.

I do, but nothing as intricate as an entire seat. For me it has been leather sill plates with contrasting stitching. Alcantara visors with the same. Fuse box covers in leather w/... you get the idea. The work has been flawless. After 10 or so purchases only one item came in with an issue. Seller setup a Miami return address for an east exchange.

I hate the Red interior. Black or grey is fine. Way too much RED.
See and I have the black full leather interior... should we swap?

look. I think it would be insane to do it.

that being said. I really want a Luxor beige interior. And “buy another car” is not an option.

so yea. I’m curious.

any of you care to send a link to these folks?

This is a link to luxor beige two tone doors. He also has beige seats. Contact him, maybe he has whole beige set. He sells other interiors for $4500.

Do you have AC 18-way seats? I have a 991.2 turbo interior I would possibly be willing to swap… it’s Luxor/ black two tone. I’m sure logistics would be interesting to make it happen.

Aren't people trying to get rid of their Luxor interior cars because of the wild sun glare on their windshields?

Either that or they've come to see the error of their ways and are moving to a correctly dark interior.

Mine is a black/ Luxor two tone so no glare on windscreen. Just like pebble/red/ black interiors better. Never know if someone is willing to swap 😁.

I also have the luxor / black combo. no glare, no problem. would imagine a swap is possible, but like anything else it won't come cheap or easy.

Very possible but expensive AF. Not worth it. Cheaper to trade for a different car. The rear seats alone are $8,200, so extrapolate from there. $$$$$
