Great questions. Coverking says that they're easy to install and take less than 30 minutes. What particular material are you most interested in seeing? Here is what their Genuine Leather Custom seat covers look like:



Let me know if you have any other questions.

thanks. I'm eagerly awaiting the user who offered to post his pictures with a boxster and those seat covers.

I'm always a little skeptical of online reviews from the vendors website

I don't mean to be critical but those look like they belong in a mini-van, not a Porsche.

And I can't believe that they install in less than 30 mins unless they install over the top of the factory seat covers. If so, then they are not a very high quality solution.

The seat covers that we have been discussing replace the factory leather and will take some time to remove the factory leather, fix any foam problems, and then re-install the new leather cover.

These images were posted so the individual asking could see what the material looked like. Those seats are just generic universal seats and are not Porsche seats, hence why they don't look like they belong. Unfortunately, I do not have stock images of them installed in a Porsche.

Coverking makes quality car covers, seat covers, custom sun shields and even dash covers. We wouldn't list their product in our catalog if we didn't feel the product was quality. We have had them into our facility to do custom covers for in house vehicles. I have seen, first hand, their seats and multiple different covers and can confirm their quality/protection. You can always call Coverking to discuss install processes or have a local shop do a professional install.
