Default Houndstooth Interior

Anyone have any pics of the sport seats custom done in a black/white houndstooth pattern, more specifically in a 996? Love the look of this in Porsche's and am thinking about doing it to my sport seats.

Additionally, any drawbacks to getting it done? I have heated seats too...

I've been wondering the same thing. I have a Natural Brown interior so I wonder if it would look good or look out of place.

I'm interested to see what routes may be possible. Love the look and the grip of the fabric seats.

I really like that look! I may do that to my car. I hope it’s waterproof though.

This one on Pcarmarket had a nicely-executed version

😳 that’s nice! I think it would look good in grey/black too!

Oh! This is a perfect example and all I needed to see.

Interesting they did the back seats and more specifically the lower cushion, too. Don't think the back is necessary, but still looks nice.

Clicking through further and they wrapped the spare tire cover too! Ha

I have an all black interior so was thinking a black/white houndstooth for the front seats...

Now I'm sold on it.

I like it, tasteful change to the interior. I could live without the red seatbelts. I’m partial to the pascha interiors. Really want to do some way back, do some tartan.

Ha, took me a second to understand your comparison, but the image I posted seems to be a gingham pattern rather than houndstooth.

Porsche picnic time!!!
