Ok... I have the leather solution for you.

First) Call Bob Budd at Classic 9 Leather in Dearborn Heights, MI. 313-682-1983. He specializes in Porsche leather. He has sold us twice perfect match leather at unbelievable fair/low prices. We redid the drivers seats in both a gray and tan interior car.

Second) Shop around at auto/marine upholstery/trim and auto glass repair/tint shops. Check out at least 5 or 6. You will be amazed at how different and or the same some of them are. We shopped every place in town until we found out our auto tint shop had a trim department. They only charged us $75 labor for each seat. Other shops were quoting $180 to $200 labor for the same job.

I second Classic 9 Leather. When I was in the 924/944 family there was only excellent things to say. Also, for what someone is going to sell you factory leather bits you can get covered for the same price or lower with brand new leather.
