real easy to be honest.. the back part is really simple just clips in like . The middle is attached by little plastic clips and the bottom you got ot remove the controls for the seat adjustments and i believe it is held by clips as well maybe 1 hr to take the whole thing removed

Honstly i'm shocked its that easy. I had to do this to my old Z3 and it was a PITA!!!!!!!! Looked easy enough to start pulling it off and it was, but when you got down into it, it was a nightmare! Good to hear our Boxster seats are a little more friendly if I ever have to do this.

Are you planning on replacing the leather on your seat??

The reason I ask...this winters mods are coming together and after 148k miles i need new seats. I have seen new (to me) seats for $700 each. But if I can get the seats recovered in Porsche leather at a better price that means I can do more mods with out my wife putting me on the couch.

the reason why i was asking is because i wanna do some different color (now i have black) stitching on it. possibly silver, since now i have a silver rear console in the car, along with silver gauges, rings, and silver Kahn wheel.
