What color did you use? I would guess you used Boxster red. I have the red interior on my car and the seats look like hell. Boxster red looks like the best match, kinda has an orange tint to it.

tommy583,
Yes, I used Boxster Red, got the dye from leatherworldtech.com. It matched perfectly to my seats. I know the colors look different in the pic but that's because of the lighting

Im all in but cant figure out how to get the plastic piec off the front of the rails so I can get at the torx bolts. Is there some magic Im not aware of?

Thanks, Larry

There should be a small screw on top of that plastic piece that secures it. Try scooting the seat all the way back to see it.

Got a question for jcy986, or anyone else who did a restoration; Does the filler clog the tiny holes of the seat leather ?

And, does a Savannah interior mean that both the dash parts and seats are the same ?
The seats and dash parts on my '98 look pretty different: anyone know ?
