Alcantra Seats?

This has to be custom right?

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
May have been a non usa car with a option I have never heard of. Or probably redone by someone to replace worn out leather

I'm guessing this is custom. Loos like there has been some other changes as well. Is the carbon fiber trim not stock? I thought this was available 2007 and after? Nice car though...

it looks to have the black maple wood trim.

These cars may be old but that is one cool looking car for $17k.

are the seats actually alcantara and not suede? I don't think alcantara would hold up well on seats, it looks like they were just done (probably because of the normal leather bolster wear given the mileage)
one huge perk is no scolding hot leather seats when the car is parked top-down in the sun!

Thanks, wonder who the previous owner is. I'd love to jump in one of these in the next quarter.

I see paddle shifters too, some mic near the cluster, those seats and other goodies.

Damage reported to front and rear in 2015 though..

Would explain how that front bumper is so pristine with that mileage.
