Pics of custom seats

Hello,
My factory seats where worn out, hard and cracking only after a few years. Even new, the leather never impressed me.

So when it was time for new seats, I looked at buying new and used, but soon realized the cost was crazy.

After looking aroud and calling different custom shops, I found a guy named Paul Champagne ( http://www.designpaulchampagne.com/PorscheLeather.html )who is well know for porsche renovations and leather work.

The price is the same as buying used seats that have the same cardboard porsche leather, However, now, they are custom made with high grade Italian leather. I chose to depart from the typical porsche look and model the seats after the Aston Martin Zagato DB

Anyway here is the current pictures of the progress. What do you guys think?

looks amazing - can't wait to see them done!

Very nice! Please post more pics when you can. Does the seat have seat heater?

Very nice. Are you installing the covers yourself?

What would you think of combing some silver or gray panels in the seats?

Silver inserts would look nice as well, but i perfer all black. I am not doing the work myself. It is done by a leather installer. also yes the seats have heaters in them. I am going to have the dash and doors covered in black leather as well.

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?
