It isn't tooled (read cut) into the leather like a tooled belt would be, rather, it is just stamped with a die. As I said, eventually, through cleanings, changes in humidity, getting wet, etc., the Leather will want to expand to it's original dimension and the crest partially disappears. This has happened to my '99 and I've seen it on other cars as well, as late as an '03 S model. Wish mine had never had them. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Spy, this sounds like good advice from Jim. I did not know this was an issue. If you really want a Porsche crest in your interior leather, consider the option code CPT- Storage Lid Bin with Porsche Crest ($290). I have this and it looks great. This is on the leather cover in the center console. The leather here is much stiffer than the headrests, and may not suffer the fate Jim has mentioned.
