Default Black alcantara interior bits with red stitching

Hey guys! just last week I had the headliner of my Z4 hardtop replaced.Then the owner of the shop shows me a center console of an F355 that he had just finished in tan leather with french stitching, then he pulls out a steering wheel done in alcantara...exquisite craftsmanship really impressed me. As I went home that evening, I searched in this forum how to remove steering wheel, shifter, hand brake, and center console. Voila! the slippery slope for me begins. Should i do the upper and lower dash as well? I will post more photos when I install the shifter.

I removed the casette tape holder in the console and used the same housing. Now I'm thinking of getting recaro pole positions, rs doors, rear seat delete.

Not a 993, but we had our upper and lower dash done in Black Alcantara. The top has the red stitching the bottom doesn't. We thought it might be a bit over powering for our car. The second picture shows it just after it was installed and still setting in. The lower dash wasn't done yet and you can see it was blue.... We also put Alcantara on the door sills.

JoAnne, your interior is awesome. I'll probably do the upper dash with stitching and keep the lower dash as is. I'll post more pics soon. Cheers!

Luial, the shop is Leder Interia in Quezon City. www.lederinteria.com Are you based here in Manila? I spent about $200.00 for the steering, shifter, handbrake, and center console.
