Here is my scenario,
My car is painted orange, all the interior pieces are black , seats door panels, handles, and backpad. I ordered a black carpet set, after 4 weeks waiting, I received a brown. He claims that's what I ordered, but I know what I ordered. Maybe this is good, maybe not. has anyone ever use black interior with a different carpet color? I know that the color of the carpet wil go nice with the paint color. I am also thinking of painting the door handles in brown as well as the center console for a better match. has anyone used vinyl paints before? comments, opinions and pictures are welcome and appreciated as I need to make a decision to send this set back. |

Ouch! Dont let a bad experience get you that down about your 914...there are other vendors out there who are solid and know a successful business is a 'relationship' as much as anything else.
If you can't find a good kit, from a forum vendor, try a sure bet (likely not the cheapest) Auto's International http://www.autosintl.com/ The work I've had them do has always been 10/10 and they have a great reputation. |

Auggie stitched a full leather interior and carpet set for my 3.2 car and it is perfect. Everything fit exactly right. He sent two or three rounds of both leather and carpet samples up so I could choose the exact right combination for my car. An absolute pleasure to deal with. No - not the cheapest but very reasonable for the quality you are getting. |
