Those are going to be gorgeous when finished. Did you say they were about the same cost as used Porsche seats??? Based on the way they look in progress, I'd say that's a good deal. Have you sat in any with that design? How comfortable are they?

Yes the cost is very reasonable. I added a few things, so the cost is a little more, but used seats cost about 1500$ and the leather still is crappy. I wish you guys could feel this leather, super high quaility, FULL leather redo, is less than used seats.

Contact Paul Champagne for costs. I just cant say enough about the quality.

James, you forgot to tell everyone you're driving around in my crappy old passenger seat bolted into your driver's seat area!

Boy am I glad to get that seat out of my garage

I cannot wait to see your car fully leather-clad with the doors and dash done too.

You are living my dream. One day, I'll get the entire interior done by your guy when the car is being totally torn down for repainting.

Those look fantastic, I would like to do something similar when my seats get worn out. Post some more pictures once you get them installed.
