Seats look great. Seen his car in the flesh, super nice. Those seats will compliment the rest of the interior well.
Who did the work? Did they also do the alcantara centers?

Glad to see an update on this. Looks good! I take it they werent able to retain the porsche crests in the headrest area? I also found a company who can do this, and they have done a lot of the parts in my car. And they have assured me they are going to be able to retain the crests. They are saying that the can retain the factory leather and just restitch matching the factory holes. Ill let you know how mine turn out

Thanks. I'm not selling the car, but on the off chance I do, I can put the original covers back on the seats.

They could have retained the crests in the headrests but they would have had to deconstruct the original covers and reuse that part. I opted to leave the original covers intact just in case I ended up not liking it or on the nearly non-existent chance that I sell the seats. Everyone I talked to said it would be near impossible to use the existing covers and restitch, and even if they could, it wouldn't look good. Figured it was safer to just make new ones and embroider the headrests. Let me know how yours goes.

Hi Akara, wondering if you still have those screens available. We never got together to do a swap. I'd be more than happy to pay for them also.

It took a long time with mine because I told them I was in no rush and they fit it in between other projects. Rob at Platinum would be the guy to ask for turnaround times.
Thank you!
