Since no one responded to my comment below, has anyone noticed that Alcantara in an S8 costs $3.5K?

my **** is getting a little grubby. I must wash it at some point.

If you get a ****, make sure to wash it periodically. Otherwise dirt will collect around where the **** joins the shaft.

Mine's just a little dirty. Taner's is absolutely *filthy*. You should see it!

Good luck!

That includes alcantara on areas like the headliner and rear deck.

That's a lot of alcantara.

Mine's very filthy as well. Actually I placed an order for 2 more with Josh..

When I washed it, it did get clean, but didn't take long to get filthy again. I got some alcantara fuzzies when I did wash it.

Price you pay for silver alcantara *****. But they are cheap enough to replace every year or so.
