Is there a preferred source for a complete vinyl recovering kit for 914 seats? Maybe recent experience out there has better insight / Basic (in black) and is this a job better left to the pros?

For you Autos International, they do the best work by far, you could send them your parts and they will recover PERFECTLY. They did Brutus the 916 and many other high end Porsches for us and the work is always perfection

We sell many many seat, back pad, and door panel kits as well as carpet kits, but finding an installer who will do a good job is hard. Living out there you are spoiled by the close location of Autos. Augustin, does GREAT work and knows the cars

I also bought a stock vinyl set from Auto's International. I had a local upholstery shop install them. Awesome quality and fit. Couldn't be happier.

These are 914rubber kits... easy-peasy install.

In addition to the ones mentioned above (AI, 914Rubber), Woirld Uphgolstery in Ventura CA & Lakewell.com in Europe make good quality kits that you or a local shop could install.

Tom it is the proper installation that is critical, it takes quite a good trim guy to get the bolsters correct on a 914. They are unlike a usual seat with a cushion and a back rest and hog hooks
