Good luck, not an easy find.



You may get lucky and find some from a 951.

rhudeboye, like smokie said....good luck!



I found a set right after I got my car but the guy wanted $2600. Unfortunately my money tree wasn't in bloom that month.

you'd probably be a lot better off all around having yours redone in linen - should only be about $500 a seat

I spent my lunch hour going through this link (which by the way is a great thread). And as you guys suspected, no one has them. 2 of the shops commented on how rare of a find it would be. However while doing a searh via google I pull up many 911's with linen intr for sale. So the cars are out there. They just need to hit a tree.



Spending a grand to re-wrap just isn't feasible for me. If it was I would be shooting for the Cobra Misano Ls, same color and much better looking for about $1800 each. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



I'll keep searching.

Are you looking for more of the whitish "linen" rather than the tan-beige that sometimes mistakenly gets called "linen"? I know that alot of the 944 guys refers to tan-beige (ie enclosed photo), as "linen", which is much darker than later model year "linen". Tan-beige is actually easy to find.... (I have a 4 of a kind)

I will have to find the picture and ask for the exact price, but a buddy of mine in New Mexico had his 911 sport seats recovered and it cost about $485 for both of them. They are full leather and he had red stitching instead of black. They looked really good if I remember correctly. I will most likely be going the same route.



Right now on ebay there are a pair of partial electric sport seats in linen. Last I checked they were $500. They are a little rough though.

Yep, saw them before I posted here. There in pretty bad shape. I can clean up the dirt, but they seem to be loosing there shape and the stitching is coming loose. There is also a tremendous amount of cracking, given the condition $500 is a fair price.

Agree - get yours recovered.



I love the cool sport seat lawn furniture. Looks way more comfortable than my aluminum and rag stuff.

From what I have seen, stay away from the ebay seat cover sets. Especially the sport seats. They never fir right and always lots of big wrinkles.

Might fir beeter if a pro took the kit and "fit it" right.
