Hello,

I'm trying to find out if Porsche offered stitching on the upper part of the dash as a factory option. I understand from @jeff968 excellent site (https://968register.org/interior-mat...configuration/) the console, lower dash, door pulls, and e-brake handle were stitched with the full leather option. Additionally, @Motorsport has posted photos of his stitched interior (https://rennlist.com/forums/968-foru...l#post16563828). However I have only seen stitching on the upper dash as part of a reupholster, such as this beautiful job on @968gene car (https://rennlist.com/forums/968-foru...l#post14199584) or from Classic 9.

TIA!

I think Porsche tried upper dash stitching and leather in the eighties on the 928 (?) with poor results, hence the full-leather 968 with lower dash only.

Thanks @jeff968 !

My dash is a "high quality vinyl". Recommended to avoid the leather issues Jeff outlines above.

Ah, got it. Thanks @968gene !

Is your holding up well? It looks great in your photos.

it still looks fantastic. However, it has only been in the daylight on several occasions!

That's great to hear and good call on the limited daylight. Here in FL I feel the like the sun savagely attacks cars even when they are garaged!
