Lseat.com seat covers with Savann Valmet (EEB savanna ) interior.

I am considering buying leather seat covers from Lseat.com but don't see any obvious colour to go with my Savann Valmet interior. Possibilities that I see are Tan, Brown or Burnt Orange. Anyone got suggestions?
The interior is in fairly good condition and the cheap seat covers have served me well.



But the seats are really in bad condition.

try to find a used set in good condition or someone local to make you some. Do a search for lseat.com also. They wont match what you have, been there.

World Upholstery is another option, but keep in mind...if you want it to match it will cost you and wont be cheap.

I did two-tone on my lseat covers. Beige doesn't exactly match but isn't really noticeable with the black outer area. And my carpet is so faded it doesn't match either.

I just did a replacement last June and you can request for the sample color chart/leather pieces for just the shipping cost from Lseat.

What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I ordered the leather swatch samples and then ordered 2-tone seats like Sharper410 has but with Lark inserts rather than beige. The Lark seems a bit closer to the original colour.

Update, January 8,2022
Finally got the driver's seat done and installed.



The story is here.

Reupholstering Boxster seats with the lseat kit.
