Default Recaro Pole Position

Just curious, anyone here have a recaro pole position done in tan to match the cashmere/tan interiors? TIA

The black against the cashmere interior "fits right in" on my car and doesn't look out of place.

Would be really interested if someone has pics of what the OP is referring to as I've never seen Pole Position's in a 993 wrapped in cashmere beige..

What would it take? A professional re-dyer? Would/could the dye wear off? Can you order the colored hide from Porsche? Anyone know someone in the LA area who can do this type of work?

I'm only considering buying PP's knowing that I can change the color to match my OEM interior perfectly, but the lack of clarity on what it would take to do that has kept me at bay.

If you or someone you know has pics of cashmere beige wrapped Pole Position's, please share.

FWIW I willl be offering up my black leather PP seats in a week or two. They are unique in that each cushion has a 70's style houndstooth fabric cover. This serves several purposes; changes the look; allows one to sit on fabric, not leather which can be warm during the summer months; and protects the leather cushions. Here is one crappy picture but I'll post more when I list the seats.
