Hi Muck - unfortunately I don't have much to report to you on that front. I went to a guy with rave reviews and he looked at my seats and I could see the fear in his eyes. Like, he didn't want to have anything to do with them, lol. I think if you try enough places you might find someone skillful and willing, but I just didn't look that hard. I can afford it - but I'd rather spend $2k - $3k on something else than where my butt is when I drive.

What are you going with for a shifter?

Appreciate the reply. I know there are at least a few other threads on the subject worth reviewing, but figured I'd inquire with you. The search continues...

Hey Dporto scroll up a bit, I posted a shot after install. They were a bit less snug than I had hoped for in that picture but they have "settled" and actually look pretty good, considering the price and level of effort. I'll be the first to say, however, I am not as anally retentive as some of the stereotypical Porsche owners are. I can live with seat covers.

Looks like a keeper if you are willing to go to this length to keep it shifting well. We've seen people get rid of these cars because they got dirty! Heck, I bought mine because I thought they never got dirty after looking at all the pics on Rennlist.
What are you going with for a shifter?

The hilarious thing is my parking brake light indicator started working again for no good reason...so now there's no urgency (other than having a better shift experience) to remove that center console, lol.

That feeling of accomplishment must be awesome. It's great that you shared your process; it can really help others who might be facing similar issues with their wheels. As for side jobs from home to make more money, there are so many options out there! Personally, I've been exploring freelance writing and graphic design gigs in my spare time. It's been a fun way to flex some creative muscles and earn a bit of extra cash. But honestly, the best side jobs really depend on your skills, interests, and schedule. What works for one person might not work for another.
