Seats should be in good condition.

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)

Jackpot!

<img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Those are beautiful. Just looking at those sport seats strengthens my determination to find them in linen.



My seats







This damaged driver seat. Ruins the whole intr.

Man, Joe ....are you breeding those things?

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.

hahahaha



Agree - get yours recovered.



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


WTB Linen sport seats - PorscheDude - 12-06-2008

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.

Poor condition sport seats are getting cheaper every day -- just saw a pair sell for $375: Pelican thread
