Suggestion

Most cars came with vinyl, and I would speculate that if the cost of the vinyl is higher it's because there may be more vinyl replacements ordered by collision repair shops driving up the price on them vs the leather.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

leather or vinyl airbag? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have an opportunity to purchase either a leather or vinyl airbag from Sumcoast Porsche. What is everybody's opinion? I have a SP car w/ black leather (not full leather) The first picture is a leather airbag w/ a silver crest. Notice the stitching on the leather. (please disregard the alcantara spelling?? wheel) The second picture is a vinyl airbag. Which do you prefer?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks Tim. Is there a visual difference other than vinyl vs. leather? I mean stitching, emblem size, etc.? The reason being, the 'vinyl' is actually more expensive than the leather and I can't imagine why

POST 4Original post

The leather smells better when impacting your face at 100mph...

That's a plus for the leather, which I didn't think of

Here is a leather air bag from the Carnewal site. Leather Air Bag

POST 8Original post

Leather. And, I LOVE the alcantara steering wheel. GT3, baby.

POST 10Original post

+ 1 for the leather. The leather was a pricey option. Most cars came with vinyl, and I would speculate that if the cost of the vinyl is higher it's because there may be more vinyl replacements ordered by collision repair shops driving up the price on them vs the leather.
