Well you said it... and I disagree. If I had enough money to pay a professional a couple of thousand dollars to do the seats of a $6000 Boxster... I wouldn't have a $6000 986 which I do all the work on. Compare the original seats and the covered seats, which is horrible? For me it is a great result given my resources and what the car is worth. In the summer I plan to do some work on the wrinkles to improve the fit.

By the way, the covers are all leather, the originals had vinyl on the seat back and the cushion sides, but the Lseats are leather there... which makes fitting it bit more difficult becuase the original vinyl is stretchy. Perhaps the lack of stretch doesn't help eliminate the wrinkles.
