Anyone know how to fix a nick/cut in the black front leather 997 seats? I have a small nick (~size of 1/4 of your baby finger nail) - Any info would be great. thanks

That can be fixed. They have repair kits but because it takes some skill and practice I would find a local shop that does auto seat repairs. If they do the repair you ll never see it, if you do it, well, who knows. I have tried it and it s a bit of an art to get it smooth and get the color right too. Just my 2 cents.

Leatherique has a product but like the previous post said, it's not easy to make it look right. Usually the pros respray the whole area

Down here we have Dr. Vinyl and they specialize in that stuff. I assume something similar exists where you are; there are DIY patch kits but I can't imagine them coming out too well.

Ya, an upholstery specialty shop might be your best beat. I'd just call around a few shops and get some quotes.
