Seat cover

Hi, anyone know where I could find some good non-leather seat covers for a 85 Porsche coupe (just the front seats)?

Thank you in advance.

I am also looking to replace the seat covers of my 1991 965. Any recommendations on options, suppliers, prices etc. are welcome

Gahh

I do this for a living. For the 911 GAHH has the best fitting covers. I'm sure other companies do fine work but gahh has been my favorite over world uph and even the famous autos international. But for 356s its auto's all the way.

I have Wet Okole on the regular seats. My car is 83 911 SC. They are excellent quality. I didn't use them yet since car is stored for winter. These did not have the slit on the upper side of seat to access recline lever. It's not an issue for me since lever can easily be felt and actuated.

Hey sleepy911, I'm pretty close to you and thinking about redoing my seats using the Gahh covers.
Can you show some of your work, prices to install covers, foam etc. Would be very interested, if I could drive over and have you professionally install them... No wrinkles, tight factory type fit.

Do you redo dashes, head liners, carpets?

I plan to do the seats in my '84 in the Spring with covers from GAHH. My questions would be:

Has anyone put new GAHH Burgundy leather covers in an older car? How was the color match?

What would a shop charge roughly on average to put the covers on, and make sure the foam is in good shape?

Bonus if anyone can recommend a shop in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area.

TIA!

I have been doing this for so long I havent cared about taking pics of my work for quite some time as I am usually booked out aways. You can probally find someone local that could install them without any trouble. FYI the wrinkles on the backrest in the photos is normal. People say my factory covers didnt have wrinkles there. After leather shrinks up it usually eliminates little wrinkles. I can get them out but only at the cost of drying the leather out quicker.
