When I installed the DSC sport controller in February of last year, I accidentally grazed the seat cushion of my GT2 carbon seats with the soldering iron and burned the alcantara a little. I had been trying to reach Heritage Upholstery who made them for me back in 2019 to see if they could fix it but was getting no responses. Eventually, I decided I wouldn't redo them in alcantara. It gets dirty pretty easily and I wanted something to give the interior a bit more pop. Going with my whole black/yellow theme, I decided to order some automotive-grade houndstooth pattern cloth from Upholstery Supply USA in yellow. Not knowing how much I'd need, I ordered 3 yards which was clearly too much but I'd rather have too much that too little. I then reached out to J&E Upholstery in South Plainfield who was recommended to me by a friend who recently had his S2000s eats redone.

I dropped it off before Christmas and told him to take his time since he was busy and I was going to be out of town anyway. By the time I got back he had completed the covers and it came out great. The pictures don't really do it justice. I find yellow is hard to photograph sometimes especially when it comes to color accuracy but you get the idea. I think it really adds to the richness of the interior especially combined with the few yellow accents I already had before.

Houndstooth pattern is fairly common option in Porsches for people that want something not plain but it's typically done in white and black. I really like this yellow and black version and suits my aesthetic well. Yes, I know this does remind a lot of people of S2000 CR seats but the pattern and color are quite different. That said, since I have extra material left over, I may redo the covers in Bumblestook to use this cloth over the yellow Tomcat cloth that I previously used.
