For the 911SC, I just selected the seats that were the same shape from the options offered. You'd have to check with the company regarding power seat options, but I wouldn't be surprised if the installer will have to cut out/around the power switches.

The drivers seat bottom needed the foam replaced and the upholstery shop did that work along with the seat cover installation. The shop charged $150 per seat installation + $100 for the foam replacement for a total of $400. So, for a total of $700, I ended up with what you see here and thought that was a pretty good deal.

Final thought: I would suggest requesting a sample of the leather before you order just to make sure that you will be happy with the quality and finish of the leather. That way you'll know exactly what you're getting and not be mad at me if they don't meet your expectations. I have learned the hard way that Porsche owners can be somewhat fickle as a group and have fairly wide ranging expectations.
