Thumbs up GT3 Alcantara Project

All Pictures & Write Up

Don Le @ Dallas Custom Steering Wheel helped me I execute a similar project on my former C4S and really liked it, so I decided to duplicate it on the GT3.

End Result:
  • new steering wheel*, recovered, thicker than OEM 'thicker wheel by 1/2"
  • spare ebrake** fully covered
  • spare console trim pieces fully covered
  • Yellow double stitching will be used where available

*The steering is a new wheel; I did not having the factory thicker wheel recovered.

**I sourced another EBrake handle that I have having fully covered, so I can keep the factory CF **** and EBrake components unchanged

That looks awesome!!! By the way, the alcantara always looks 10x better in person. Photos do it no justice. Would you mind disclosing how much something like this costs? Thanks.
