Default UltraSuede Pod Cover

This is pod recovered with Alcantara Ultrasuede. The cover is the same cost as the leather cover $329.00. Pod not included.
As it is without a core $500. With a core $450.

I just did this one and will have it at the Frenzy. I'll have a black leather one with me too.

Beautiful! No grinning at the sharp edges. Are other colors available?

This is great material - looks and feels like suede without many of th headaches. I have a dark blue alcantara chair in my living room, and love the feel of the material. If anything gets on it, I wipe it clean with a damp cloth...

In the car you have the advantage of less reflections in the windshield. But most of all I like that look. Hmmm... wonder, if they make that material in classic grey...

That would work great for the dash & pod of my track car. Like Nicole said, low reflections & very durable.

I'm somewhat color blind so many of the colors I see are "classic Grey". Here's a color chart for Alcantara.

I'm killing myself too.
My interior is the same vinyl and cloth I put it it 6 years ago.
I plan on cork leather dash, pod, console, doors, rear quarters, etc with matching Alcantara seats and headliner.
I have the material, tools, and expertise to do it all. But no time. Every time I get caught up, I get another dash order. I'm not complaining, its just frustrating because its all right there just waiting to get done.

You are like the cobbler with the old shoes, or the web designer with the totally outdated website...

I want one in color # 9002, which seems similar to greyish-green. Do you do this yourself, or would I send it to someone else? Give me a couple of months to extort the money from someone else. I really like alcantara particularly for killing the reflections on the windshield and into my eyes.

Can you do the seats also? I want to scrap the leather and use alcantara, at least for the center sections and in the same wide segments as the factory upholstery.

We do the pods and seat covers along with dashes, consoles, and just about anything else. We have a complete upholstery and trim shop.

When you're ready, let me know.

My dash and pod desperately need recovering. I had been thinking about Alcantara. I can't wait to see it tomorrow!
