If you removed the old covers use the material from the back sides of the seats to cover the arm rest.

put in some black floor mats to tie it all together.

Porsche 944 #2 Minze

Got the upholstery from Bryan @ seatzmfg.com I'm working on getting pelicans special pricing and I'm sending my rear upholstery for a pattern.

I'll get new Black floor and rear mat with Porsche logo in the next few weeks, that should help tie things together!

Check out my wife's sweet 944 turbo I bought her (gypsyinaporsche). Never mind It's not there???

No offense, but black seats in that interior look like azz. Get tan seats. They really look 100X better than the black ones - those just look COMPLETELY out of place.

Hated the tan from the start (faded to the color of puke)but instead of having the PO part it out I rescued it and now I'm making it into what I wanted in the first place. The left side has door and finder damage that will cost me a bundle to fix but she will not go to the scrap heap!

BTW
If you didn't like that you're probably gonna die when you see the dash!

They are complete re-skin in vinyl. Had to go with vinyl because of my dog and living in Alaska.
Re-skinning is a B***h, didn't take any pictures along the way but will write up the process when I have time.

Total cost was $285.00 with shipping to Alaska.

that's the same color interior that my car has, and I need two new front seats as well. I love the new gauges, where did you get that?

Very nice job! Did you have to rebuild some of the seat foam on the driver's side?

Heres the Link to gauges: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250488702949&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT

@ P-Talk: I had to rebuild side bolster with high density foam. Just attach with contact cement and sculpt with electric carving knife.
