To PW's point. Why introduce yet another type of material into the cabin? Faux material at that. Why not stay with a genuine leather product (suede or tanned leather)? Much can be found at local thrift stores for practically nothing in cost AND it matches better with the "class" of this car.

I'm not trying to knock Christian's hard work. It looks great. But "genuine" Alcantara is still fake.

$7, genuine leather, and I still have some left over.
