anybody have any experience with this? i'm curious about the price of throwing some alcantara on my seats and doors possibly.

 

No don't have any experience with this, but it does sound like a pretty good idea. The old rule of thumb is if you want it done right you have to pay a little more to have it done. So your best bet is to find a shop that does good work by either word of mouth or checking out some samples of what they have done. Then be prepared to lose your ride for a few days maybe up to a week to have them do it up. Oh and if you do go this route...take some pictures when its done ha ha.

 

im thinking some light alcantara would look so sick, maybe something grey to match the aluminum on the doors...similar to the way b5 s4's used to have it

 

how much do you think it would cost to wrap alcantara leather all around the dashboard ????.....may be its alot of $$$ , right .??

 

yea probably a decent amount of money. apparently there are alcantara hookups around the forums though. if we can lock up the materials at a discount and only pay for labor that would help a bit...

 

i would like red leather, with white stitch!
a dark blood red color would be my pick if i were to redo my seats.

 

I have seen anywhere from $2000~$6000 and when it comes to Lambos and Ferraris, they tend to charge over $10k.

now for the dashboard, it would be a lot of labor, since they need to take the dashboard out of the car.

I am thinking of doing the headliner with Alcantra which shouldnt be hard nor expensive.

Search around and visit them personally to see if they do quality work. If not done right, you will hate yourself by making your car look like a 85 honda civic.

 

it makes me think about classic rebook sneakers from late 80s .., retro style eh ??. ....

 

yeah i been thinking about it to alcantara headliner, middle of seats, doors.

 

wanna call up one of your shops?

 

yeah as soon as i get my car back. Hopefully fri i'll let you
