Couldn't agree more Essex. Everyone has their own taste. I have always believed that the only opinion that matters is my own when it comes to upgrades, colors etc. I certainly do not want to rain on someone's parade when my taste doesn't align with their taste. That's just common courtesy, which is something that is lacking in society all too often

Hey guys, if he likes it and he is satisfied with it, it makes me happy.
So I can still express my opinion, as I have to live with it, if others do not like, what I have on my car converted.
Unfortunately you can not to please everyone and I personally prefer it, someone tells me the truth as he's lying in my face.

I like it. But, more importantly is that I like that there are options for folks that don't have the OEM leather.  To the OP.. was it tough to I nstall? I went on his site and read that its just the leather.

It took me about 1hour to fit it. You have a bit of trimming to do but other than that it's fairly easy

I really like the OP's white stitched leather look. Reasonably priced too. I'd say these are a winner!

Manner of fact, you would drooled if you would see what they do here in Shanghai RE car interiors and leathers mate. They now scan the dash and other car features using 3D scanners, cut the leather using lasers and stich those using CNC stitching centers (i.e. robots man). It's in a windowed shop so you can see it all happening while waiting for your car. They practically have most molds and years for any car makes really (911, Boxsters, Cayenne etc....). Quality is same as the manufacturer and every single details looks sharp and clean. They also included personalized embroidery services. Any graphics/pattern you want really!
Just sayin'..... you may want to start outsourcing to China soon brotha  My Chinese friends are clearly catching up with the Germans
|
Hey buddy, how are you!?
I know from them, they do a really good job, as i know too, the leather is from malaysia, work is done in china. They also make steering wheels for 997, 987... for very low prices... but believe me, in direct comparison you'll see that our quality is still much better ... in fact everything handmade.

I know how to get you mad so I was playing with my luck telling you about modern car stitching and all LOLLL
Definitely nothing beats excellent German craftsmanship like yours brotha, no worries there for sure

LoL... I donīt have any problems with it, as i said, they do a really good job. However... quality makes the difference.
You do any new mods on your Boxster?

Hi Izman,
the basic sw is from raid/atiwe, diameter 320mm with flat bottom. We have customized this sw with real carbon fiber, matte finish, covered with smooth nappa leather and silver stitching.
We do a similar conversion for an italian customer..:

For those interested, I contacted the seller about getting door armrests in matching leather. Well, he wrote back and told me he went out and bought a 986 door panel to measure, so now he has the matching door armrest. Yes, I know there is an easy DIY, but I was/am considering the center console arm rest and if I get that, I would want matching leather on the door arm rests. Here is the link to his store, and no, I am not in any way affiliated. I do like the looks of the products for the price. I just wrote him concerning the stitching on the door arm rests, I would prefer no stitching as it might get annoying on the elbows, or maybe I am just over thinking it.
PORSCHE items in 986 store on eBay!

Can anyone advise me on how to remove the dash cover over the speedo cluster? I ordered the topgaiter cover, is there an easy way to remove this without tearing apart the whole dash board?
Thanks.
PS ordered the armrests and center console armrest as well. Black leather with grey stitching to match the rest of the interior. Can hardly wait to install.
Also, anyone have advice on spray adhesive for this? I thought the 3M 90 would be the best choice, let me know,
Thanks

I did mine today and used the 3M General Purpose 45 and seemed to work well. Happy with the results!
