Louis, I received the two perforation samples from Garrett today. The black leather sample on the left is the perforation pattern called "PORS" on their website and matches the pattern on our 993 seats.
For comparison, the sample on the right is for early Porsche seats and called "EARL" on their website. Hope that helps you order the right pattern!

Reupholstering seats
I removed the seats this past Friday and delivered them this afternoon to Rod at HOF Designs to get them reupholstered with the Garrett Leather in Oceanic blue that I purchased.
Below are some before shots. The driver's side bolster had some cracking and fading. The seat had some staining and the foam was compressed after 20-years of use.
The passenger seat is in okay shape, but I want it to match the new driver seat.
I'll have them finished in about three weeks. After photos to come!

The seats have been stripped. I'm waiting on the perforated leather to arrive. Should be in by the end of this week.
The grey center armrest has also been stripped and the Midnight Blue leather is being patterned to match today.
Timing for completion is the first week of March.

I am totally jealous of your armrest!!!

I bought the last passenger armrest in Midnight Blue in the world, but could not find a matching driver armrest. So I bought a grey one, hence the reupholster.
Can't wait to see the finished job!
Last one purchased from Porsche and shipped from Germany!
