Has anyone installed pieces from this UK eBay seller “JF Customs?” They have 444k reviews that are 99% positive. There has got to be someone on RennList who has made a purchase:

I just installed the new shift **** and JF Customs boot last night. Super happy with the new look. The boot quality seems to be very good, prompt shipping and a very responsive seller. I don’t think you can beat the boot especially for the price.

Thanks Bbiela, I went to their eBay site and they have leather boots for the early boxsters that have the **** like the 993. I’m going to see if they’ll do one in white for me!

I love the seats, they fit like a glove and really make you feel connected to the car, great replica seat. The ones in the link are fibre reinforced plastic shells and mine are carbon fibre withe nomex fabric, they were in the car when I purchased it. PO said he ordered them from Europe.

This is best pic I have of the rails, you can also see the carbon fibre better.

Amazon. Where else? 🤣🤣🤣. I tried to get their order number but is now unavailable. I searched for an Orange USB charger. If I was ordering now I would try to find one that is PD compatible for faster charging.

For anyone that wrapped interior parts in leather - like the lower center console, a few questions:

- Did you do it yourself or have it done?
- Did you buy a kit, or just start with a sheet of leather?
- What kind of adhesive did you use?
- Any tips or advice or how-to for the job?

I was finally able to track down a leather Graphite Gray 3-spoke wheel for my Carrera. These things are basically unobtainium because, A) Only available with full leather interior option or on the Turbo AFAIK (but pretty sure most of the non-Turbo wheels were still plastic finish), b) Early cars had full leather 4-spokes which I already had, C) Most people don't seem to take off their steering wheels our of their Turbos for AM, D) Vast majority of Turbos have black interior, E) On wrecks, usually the airbag has gone off and wrecked the wheel.

So, after 3+ years of searching, I finally had a member contact me and send me one at a reasonable price. Once it's installed I'll post some pictures of the interior.

So ended up getting Cobra Misanos from Tom. Had leather touched up locally and will properly install when Tom gets me instructions on how to install the submarine belt support. Decided to keep the Red dash and am leaning toward going back to red door cards but changing the lower door carpet to black. I dyed the rearmost faded black carpet to black and it's not a perfect match but between the window tint and the roll cage, no one can tell. Door cards are going to have to match better. Any suggestions on dying door card carpeting without dying the Red leather?



Still undecided on A.B & C pillar trim--leaning toward black.


Interior still partially disassembled.

I really like what you did with the door handle and sill. How did you improve the door pull handles and door sill? Did you buy stock black components, or did you dye the leather?

I gotta have a stitched leather airbag for my steering wheel. There's one on Marketplace and I already have the three spoke wheel.
