If your Porsche has racked up some miles, it’s possible that some of its cosmetic items may be in need of replacement. No doubt you pay very close attention to all things mechanical when it comes to your vehicle, but seats, carpet, convertible tops, and the like wear out, too and replacing these items can restore the look of your beloved vehicle to factory-new, if you use the right supplier.
Porsche Carpet is not an easy thing to replace. Each year of each model can bring changes in the patterns and materials used, and it takes a real professional to keep track of all of the variations, let alone supply them. Finding someone with that kind of passion for his craft may take some extra time, but when you see the final result, you’ll agree it was worth it.
Whether you’re restoring a classic Porsche from the 50’s or fixing up a later model for resale, when you can’t get OEM parts, you need to locate the next best thing; a shop that understands how much your vehicle means to you and is willing to go out of their way to get you as close to an exact replica of what you need as possible. It may be Porsche Carpet, or a hard-to-find headliner piece or even a tonneau cover, but they will treat it just the same. There are professionals out there who take their reputation seriously and know that if they make you happy, you’ll tell your friends about them.
Sometimes tracking down exact replacements can be costly. It may be that the original materials are not as readily available as they once were, so the cost has to be adjusted. If this is the case, and your desired item is just out of your price range, you may be able to request that your carpet pieces be cut from more accessible, more affordable material. It may not be an exact duplicate, but chance are it will be close enough that it won’t detract from the factory new look it lends you vehicle.
Replacement parts can be found in a number of places, but when it comes to caring for your vehicle, be sure that you are not dealing with a scam artist who will gladly take your money and deliver you inferior parts or, worse, nothing at all. Those trusted professionals are out there. Take the time to track them down.
