I am so glad that SMS auto fabrics redid the original 914 plaids. Sure brightens up the 914 interior. We have done quite a few of them nowAttached Image

Same as in my silver car. Look good. Now you need plaid travel bags.

Looks great. I found that without UV protection the color will fade quickly. I spray mine twice a year.

My experience is that maintaining seat covers like this one is a LOT more expensive.

Nobody has any green right now. The mill that makes it is not running right now. I am in contact with them weekly because I have a few orders I’m waiting on. I also bought all of Automobile Atlanta’s bulk tartan inventory right before the virus outbreak. And 914rubber says they don’t have any either. I will PM you as soon as it is available.

Here are the seats I sourced a few days ago from a local SoCal
member for my V8 car.
I'm recovering centers with plaid, and adding grommets for a Singer type appearance. Adding heat to the seats too.

Here is what I'm starting with...my plaid material arrived today.
