A good upholster should be able to do it.

Place a WTB for a decent one in classifieds. Many have deleted theirs. It probably would be cheaper.

I may have just the shroud/cover. It just staples on from underneath the leather/vinyl cover. The cover is then folded over on the back side and glued. I will check to see if I still have it. I may have thrown it away. I do have a complete console that is In good shape, with the exception of 2 holes a previous owner drilled into it. The cover is perfect, and if you want you could just swap it out

Rusty,

Did you supply the leather? If so, where did you find it?

I had them do it. It came out perfect. It ran around $225, got it back in 2 weeks.

It is not a kit, it was supplied by the leather upholsterer who has been doing Porsche leatherwork for decades and he had the correct color.
