    Default Alcantara, Ultrasuede, Microsuede, etc...

    Anyone have a contact for getting a roll...or two...or three? I'm trying to put an estimate together on what it will cost to do my entire interior.

    Try searching ebay, then hitting up the seller and seeing what their best price is/if they would do deep discounts for group buys. I got faux suede for the interior of my 240 and it was a pretty penny even for the cheap stuff. I'd also be in for getting some, cause I don't think I got enough so I'm probably gonna use what I have on my s13 and get a new batch for the s14.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    That's the first place I went, there is none under the name of alcantara or any misspelling of it that I could find.

    I just looked up "faux suede" and found several but no black Price ends up being about $0.75 per square foot + s/h.

    Damn... here in Athens I was paying about $10/sq yd for black.

    Real Alcantara you'll probably have a hard time finding on egay... I think you have to be a licensed dealer to sell the stuff.

    Honestly, with your car looking as hot as it does, you can probably put together a sponsorship proposal and get sponsored by the company and get them to shoot you some for free.

    No hurt in asking, right?

    I'm working on that with a few companies...the question is how much show vs. track events, purpose of the car, etc? I really need coil-overs because the front and rear suspension is coming from 750-1,000lb heavier cars which equals 4x4!! Sponsors want photos in their proposals but without a completed car that's kinda tough to do!
