Leather shop for Recaro Pole Position in Cincinnati?
Just looking for suggestions for a leather shop in the Cincinnati area that would be able to do a great job covering cloth Pole Positions in tan leather. I'd like to go local but if I can't find any around here I'll go outside the area.
I already know JJ's in Washington state but have gotten no response (after initial contact). I suspect they are too busy. I have talked to 928 Leather. Autobahn Interiors I have not called but will if folks here can vouch for them. Anybody else? I've been told PPs are real hard to cover right so it is important to get a shop that has experience and recommendations. BTW I am doing this because of the ridiculous pricing scheme from the factory - about which I have lamented in a recent thread. Ridiculous! Last edited by Maxhouse97; 03-03-2012 at 07:59 AM.. |

Good to know. Do you know if they have experience with Pole Positions and not just older Recaros?

my upholstery guy near cleveland is amazing. i had him dye a set of 993 seats for me ( it seems like everyone else has done it, so why not me... (interior) ) and he just installed a set of seat heaters in my '12 fusion. he is currently doing an interior resto on a 67 911 softie including a new top. i can give you his infor if you want it.

Sure I'll take it. Seems schedules and priorities differ greatly amongst vendors, so having a couple of options is helpful.

JJcustom interior will do a fantastic job. I will say you need to be a little flexible on time. I think him and his lady are overwhelmed with the work they have... But he is straight forward and when you get them back you will be impressed.

Yeah they haven't returned my calls or emails (after the initial contact). Guess they are too busy for my business - hence my earlier comment.
