We did a set of leather 914 seats as prototypes, just to see how they'd come out. I'm pretty happy with them.

Gonna put these in my car- it's all about marketing... We'll probably start doing these custom soon. I've got about 10 different patterns and 20 colors we can pick from on the leather. They're pretty comfortable. I went with the light centers to blend in with my car and to avoid waffle marks on my rear during the hot California summers.
