Does anyone have a good source for upholstery leather to repair a sport seat bolster? My local guy is trying to steer me to leather samples that are close to a match, but are really for other makes of cars. 'Almost' works well for horse shoes and hand grenades, but I'd like to have the real thing for my 968.



Thanks.

this is where i got my perforated cashmere leather for my seats



realize though, that dye lots can mean a slight difference, regardless of supplier

Subtracts about 30-40 lbs from the car in the process.

Bob - did you have your seats recovered? If so, completely in leather or just leather 'seating surfaces?' Was this a job in the ability of any good auto upholstery shop? I assume that you used perforated for the seating surfaces and not the back or side bolsters.



And if you don't mind - how much (and then I can subrtact the 300% CA surcharge and determine what it might cost in NC)?

Close counts in horseshoes and handgrenades....but also dancing.

i had mine custom made



yes, i used the perforated porsche leather for the seating surfaces



sorry, i have no numbers for you on these, but the going rate for a complete reupholstery of a leather seat here is about $500 each, regardless of the seat

Performance Products has a DIY kit for about 1100.00 but it lists it as standard seat only. If you just have tear in the bolster, you may be able to do a temporary repair...there is a similar thread running concurrently...

wow - hmmm - lol - sounds like maybe i should be acting as a go-between with my upholstery guy - for 1100 plus shipping, i could get them done here, make 100 bucks, and save people the hassle of installing kits



of course, the seats would be out of the car for a couple of weeks



tough call
