By the way alcantra is just a Fabric.

Isn't that an option in europe? Perhaps you can just get the real deal.

Default Yeah... I checked this out...

There were a bunch of alcantara pieces... like the door pull, ebrake handle, shifter boot, let braces, steering wheel...

cheapest price I found was $70/yd and you had to buy 3 at a time
