Leather work from Paul Champagne
Got my custom leather owners/service manual holder for my M491 from Paul Champagne - the 928 leather guru. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I now know where I am going when it comes time for my custom 911 seats.

How much does one of those cost? The one that came with my car is in less than good shape.

Sorry didn't check the link $40 seems reasonable to me.

Glad to know Paul got back to you guys.
Paid $50 shipped and I got to pick the colors. Mine is blue and champagne II, just like my 911. This approach seemed like a win to me on multiple levels for me. Try out Paul's work for a low cost (CHECK), get a cool looking customized leather holder (CHECK) and save my factory holder for when I do a full restoration on the M491 (CHECK).

Hey guys - resurrecting an old thread, I noticed Paul's website is now done. Has anyone heard from him recently?
Thanks, Yasin

FWIW, this is what he communicated to me in March of last year...
I am currently out of the country on a big project. Not even sure at this point when that will be done, so I can't take any new orders at this point.

From what I understand, from being on the 928 side, Paul has closed his shop and is no longer doing any leather work. I sent him a question in email about an 86.5 928 I recently picked up and he answered promptly, but it wasn't in regard to having any work done, so can't say what his response would be to that.
