Default source for leather covered speaker covers?
Leather covered door speaker grills

I have the HiFi option and leather covered speaker grills. The drivers side has been kicked several times by the PO (GT3 seats, must h ave kicked them swinging his little legs out....)

Does anyone know where to get replacement leather covered speaker grills?

Thanks for the input!

Leather "Porsche" door sills

Same thing, except this is the little door sill on the carpet next to the drivers side aluminum "C4S" threeshold cover. This is about an inch wide and stanmped deepply with the "PORSCHE". It also has good wear on the drivers side....any ideas where to get a replacement?

Thanks


Also, I

I have been looking for the leather covered speaker grills as well. Never figured out where to get them. Those are the grills that come standard on the Turbo S..

Find a local Upholstery Shop & have them cover the stock grill, it will be much cheaper, & look just as good.

I took my damaged one to a shop in town this week - they did not seem too interested in redoing them.

Yes - my PO was making the car a Turbo S replica from the mods he put in. I found the speaker cover and door piece - LAPD - $350 each.....Yikes

I've been wanting to do this. I guess they are like a lot of $$$ new from Porsche..? Better to have them recovered perhaps?
