pelican parts or appearance and performance..

AutoAtlanta & Sierra Madre Collection also sell them (along with Pelican & A&P noted above - & I think James with the A&P link above owns them & is a member vendor here too). Either/all AA, SMC & Pelican may be using the ones from Appearance & Performance (not sure of their sources??).

Also, as one with a 73 2L in the OE Porsche #31 Biege (VW #501/#502) interior myself, when I asked George at AA about the color & material match, he said it usually is very hard to match & you end up having to redo the entire interior to look right. While my basketweave is all good, the outer seat bolsters & door panel door top bolsters in smooth have some wear damage. Ergo, I'll be looking for OE 73/74 material from a discarded backpad, etc. to have sections cut from & sewn in to the originals on my 914, instead of mismatching new material. If you decide to reupholster everything, contact me regarding the discarded interior parts.

However, you might want to consider running down the matching OE door panels from another 914 with beige instead.
