Where to find original seat material

I'm looking to restore both of GTUS 89/90 center seat section

(I have two cars) need 4 seats worth

They are filthy and very worn out, I love the look
Not concerned out the outside blue, just the centers


Does any one sell this material new ?

Repro or old stock ?


I have 3 of these seats was going to take it apart and have them dry clean at the very worts for reupholstery?!

Help appreciate
I will post a better photo shortly

good luck with that, it was a proprietary material that is now 30 years out of date.

best you can do is find something close.

In the Porsche world all the seat materials are reproduced or available in rolls somewhere

Expensive yes but available

I'd hate to think I have to destroy seats to get that material
