Well they are vinyl, so no elephants were killed. But we finally found a vinyl that can be used to replace these.

Useful material for owners of '71 914s
1971s had a 'one year only' interior that had a similar grain. |

I wouldn’t really call it shiny. Was it the 70 that had an even larger grain? |

The 70 VIN 4702912078 (purchased from original owner in 1978)  The 71 VIN 4712908706 (purchased from a buddy & original owner, in 1975)  The Billings car as I recall was the same as the 70.
