alcantara IS faux already, it's faux suede..
fuzzy is good ;-)
no need to buy fuzzy dice.

Alcantara and a dusty racetrack are a bad mixture. brush and vacuum after every DE.

I would go with full Alcantara if there was such a choice. (Europe = closed windows, no dust problem)

I think that would make the cabin look more race and less Grand Turismo.

I like the full leather in my GT3. However if you are thinking the additional leather optional coverings, I think that the extended leather dash is a bit too much in the 991. The stitching becomes just TOO busy around the speakers, at the windshield base and around the dash wart. There is plenty (enough) going on with stitching every where else in a leather interior GT3. In a leather interior GT3 the dash "cap" has a double stitching line across the whole dash and the area in front of that (containing the speakers) is also covered in what appears to be leather it is just not stitched around all of the openings. The 3" wide strip just at the windshield base is not covered, you will never notice...

And not even available ion the RS.

To each his own.

The size of the dash behind the actual instruments and vents is huge on a 991 compared to a 997. When I looked at early GT3s with just the full leather option, nothing else, it looked like Porsche only covered in leather what they absolutely had to cover in order to call it "full leather."

Leather on only the front quarter of the dash and only the front half of the seats looked cheap in a car costing six figures. Opting for leather setbacks and extended dash in leather, just looked like a true "full" leather option, IMHO.

I'm very happy with those extra leather options on my car. I think it's a bit more important if you get red stitching so the car looks complete.
Easier to get away with just ordering the basic full leather if you get platinum stitching.
