Default Sport Hardbacks in Leather

Was going to get the seatbacks in my 997.2 turbo painted Atlas grey to match the exterior colour of the car.

However after seeing a new 991.2 turbo speced with leather covered hardbacks decided to contact Linas of LSdesign to inquired whether this was possible on my hardbacks

Was initially going to go for stone leather however decided on black to complements my cars black leather and stone grey leather interior.

Yeah, that looks great. That was always a hugely expensive factory option. I think over $2k. What were you charged, about $1200? Does it require seat removal? Thanks.

Thanks, I'm really pleased with the result.

Yes had to remove the seats from the car which is straightforward.

The guy who did the work stripped the seats and covered the seat backs along with the pannels on the base of the seats with leather prior to reassembling the seats.

He did me a special deal at around £700, which with the current rate of exchange would be $900, so I'm really happy

That's a great value.

Hard to tell on my phone, but is the stitching a good color match? Looks good from here.

That is absolutely gorgeous, and a very fair price. But I have 2 Grandkids getting in and out regularly.

Matches the OEM leather and stitching perfectly.

It looks OEM

That looks amazing! Really wish I had someone local that could do that for me but would have no idea who to trust. The previous owner of my cab scratched the heck out of my seat backs.

Thanks for posting up the photo.
Hadn't realised that this was an option on the 997, though it was only avsilable as an option on the 991.
Does the leather also cover the bottom pannel of the seat and airbag or just the seat back?
Have you got any more photos that you could post?

Thanks
