1974 to 1994 Porsche 911 (911/912/930/964) Complete Interior Kits

Porsche 911 Front & Rear Seats Porsche 911 Door Panels Porsche 911 Rear Quarter & Wall
Porsche 911 Carpet Porsche 911 Headliner

The 1974 model year brought significant changes in the Porsche 911 series of cars and this includes the interior portion of it. Primarily is the introduction of the "built-in headrest" style of front seats that didn't change much up to the end of the 964 series in 1994. While there were many changes from 1974 to 1994, they were not major enough that it is easy to catergorize all these 911's from 1974 to 1994 into one group. As long as we have the correct year and body type of the 911 and ask the right questions, World Upholstery & Trim is able to put together a convenient interior package kit that allows you to restore or even change the color of the interior of your classic Porsche 911. A complete interior kit includes: Front & Rear Seat Covers, Door Panels, Dash Recover Kit, Carpet Set, Rear Quarter & Rear Wall Panels (Coupes & Targas Only) and Headliner (Coupes & Targas Only). As always, anything related to the soft top, including boot covers, are sold separately.

For example, the Complete Interior Kit for 911 Coupes includes:

- Front & Rear Seat Covers (Leather or Vinyl)
- Door, Rear Quarter & Rear Wall/Tray Panels (Leather or Vinyl)
- Dash Recovery Kit (Leather or Vinyl)
- Interior Carpet Set, Sliverknit
- Headliner Kit, Perforated Vinyl

The coupes, targas and cabriolets used the same seats depending on the year of the car. There were only 3 generations of standard and sports front seats, and all the rear seats were small foldable seats. They also used the same door panels but only the coupes and targas had rear quarter and rear wall panels. Cabriolets just had carpet on the rear area. The upholstery needed to recover the dash, did not change at all from 1974 to 1994. 1974 was also the year that Porsche started using Sliverknit for the carpet of the 911. While there are many changes with the carpet, we have all the patterns and as long as we know the year and model of the car, then we can make the correct carpet set for you. The headliner for the coupes were made in perforated vinyl while the targa had black foam-backed cloth.
