safesaxbdd thanks and I had someone install the seat covers. The foam was a litlle worn and they added padding. 986boxster. I did have leather on the side door pocket covers. I removed them and after 2 days of carefully removing the glue and having numb fingers from the rubbing with glue remover, they came out as you see them. I have videos on youtube showing the car when I first got it and you can see the pocket leather was damaged over time from the seat belt hitting and scraping the leather.

Okay I see why you removed the leather, it was damaged. Like I said, the previous owner or someone else must`ve installed it on your car as it`s not an option on the 986. I sanded mine a bit to make sure that the glue sticks to them good, that`s why I thought you bought new ones because I don`t see any scuffs marks on yours. That was one of the first mods I did, I could not stand the feel of the plastic on my arm , .
My BMWs have full leather on the door handles and armrests, I don`t know why Porsche would put a piece of abs plastic on the door when almost the rest of the interior is leather
