I am looking to have a pair of late-80's / early-90's sport seats reupholstered in either partial or full leather, still undecided.

By good recommendation, I was leaning towards Autos International. However, I understand Autobahn Interiors is former Autos International upholsterers. Both shops look to do stellar work, but neither seem to have many examples of their work on late model cars. They both seems to specialize in 356 and early 911’s.

Does anyone have experience with either of these shops, ideally with late model sport seats? Advice, recommendations, and photos are welcome!

Softbacks or hardbacks?

If you mean softbacks, the frame of the seat is pretty much the same across all 80s 911s / 944/968s / later 928s so the experience does not need to be 964/993 specific.

@Jlaa

Softbacks. You are right though, the frames are similar, albeit the larger bolster bars in the sport seat variants. That's mostly my concern, a shop that can provide as close to factory fitment as possible, namely around the bolsters.

Whatever I decide I'll be sure to provide photos for the next person to reference.

Much appreciated! I would like to do the same thing (non-sport seats, though).

Question: where are these 2 firms located?
