Below is a (bad) picture of two vinyl samples I received in the mail recently from Autos International. The one on the left is their "domestic" vinyl (#9103), the right is "German" (#9226). The domestic version matches the grain of the AA seat/bolster recover kit I received last year. It's also closer, if not a perfect match, to the vinyl that's on my seats and such now.
Can anyone here say for certain which is the more "correct" sample? I would have expected the German stuff to be a better match, but it doesn't match what's in my car. Of course my car may have been redone incorrectly at some point. Sorry the clarity isn't better, only have my cell camera handy. Reid |

The 71 is of course unique and is actually Naugahyde as Porsche contracted with an american firm only that one year to use their vinyl. Hence the stuff in black is very easy to find and is the wider crushed grain look (actually looks like a cheap k mart interior fabric!!!!) Again very unique though.
