Seat recovery (GROUP BUY)??
Have any of you found a place that sells leather kits to recover the factory seats? I like the feel and the pattern of the factory seats I just dont like how mine look at this moment. I am sure to get these from porsche it would be too expensive to consider. I have seen places that make seats for 964/944/911 but never a 993. Any suggestions?

Can try the following company that sells repair kits for leather (better than nothing). They've had Porsche experience for prob. 20+ years.

I have personally installed many different katzkin seats and they are very nice quality. I think that they are willing to make the pattern for any car if they have 10 orders. I will call them and find out what we need to get these seats made.

I looked at there web site before and thought about it. Have you ever seen what the final result looks like? I might buy some crappy seats from ebay and try it on them first.[QUOTE]
Worked OK for me. Had some wear spots on the outside of the side bolsters. Good color match altho they don't quite match the leather pattern.

I used a similar product (of course this stuff could be considerably worse than the color plus stuff) on a previous car and it looked like I took the leather off and replaced it will thin plastic?? my seats were super slick and shiny. What color are your seats ?

There is a link to the company that made his seats and they list 911 as one of the cars whose seats they do.

If anyone is still reading this thread - I just ordered the Gahh seat covers and will have them installed professionally next week. If anyone is interested I will post pics and a report of the quality, etc.
$1500 is a little steep - they better be good.
