Seat Covers
Had a large hole in the DS outer bolster that spewed bits of foam. I swapped the driver's and passenger backrest skins. I used liquid duct tape to "stitch" the tear.
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1543328004.jpg I'd like to replace the covers with leather, but don't want the expensive options. Does anyone have experience with this seller? https://www.lseat.com/products/1997-2004-porsche-boxster-986-custom-real-leather-seat-covers-front.html Thanks! |
I had them send a color swatch as I was interested in these covers but have not purchased yet.

Here is my review/photos of the set of seat covers that I bought from Lseat.com for my 911SC...
I had them professionally installed by a local auto upholstery shop. http://986forum.com/forums/528235-post11.html |
IF the rest of the upholstery is okay, not torn or badly worn, have an upholstery shop replace just the damaged portions of the seat skins. I have a guy here in Tucson who can pretty well match the vinyl covers. Lots cheaper and keeps the look of the seat all Porsche.

When I did my seats (which were really bad) I replaced the seats with some seats I found on Ebay. My original interior was metropol blue, the replacement seats were black. The carpeting was really worn, too. And the blue got swapped out for black.Where the blue carpeting meets the black, it doesn't look too outlandish. I don't think I'd replace beige seats in a beige interior with black. The difference would be too stark and wouldn't look right. |

Reading several very negative reviews (even on their website) I ran across this thread
944 Forum - Leather Seat Covers I suppose you get what you pay for. No offense to those who had positive experiences. Anyone deal with Classic 9 Porsche Interior Restoration Leather Craftsman Classic 9 Leather Those would be my choice, as they match the original so well. |
I am inherently cheap. I've had leather seats and I was not impressed. A lot of expense, no added comfort, and they were much more prone to damage. Your butt will stick to them in hot weather.
I reiterate that a good upholstery shop could make your damaged seat look as good as new and probably make it wear better than oem. I'd certainly take it to a quality upholstery shop first, rather than get some aftermarket skins. If you save $400 repairing, you could put that money towards new tires, or shiny wheels, or just put it in a 'moving violations' fund. |
