If you are an experienced auto upholster then, by all means, buy new covers and do it yourself. I found it challenging enough just to get the old skin off, never mind putting one back on. (My old drivers seat was totally fuct. I took it apart to make it easier to get rid of and to save a few parts). I suspect there are a great many special tools needed to do the job well.

I bought a pair of like-new sports seats from a 2003 from 9-Apart in Toronto. Wasn't the cheapest solution available to me, but I love the look and feel of the sports seats. They're heated too, although it is still on my project list to install the wiring and switches to get that working.

What I hate is seeing cheap aftermarket racing seats in a Porsche. It just looks so... ricer.
