Default Alcantara Interior upgrades




I've done a few motor upgrades and I love the way my car runs. I also added a few interior upgrades in Alcantara.

Does anybody know if you can remove the center of the door panel?

Thx

i have done the door panel. Not easy...its glued on in addition the components around it (arm rest, speaker grills etc) are held w plastic welded rivets you need to drill out.

great job! Did you do the PCM stack side panels yourself? Also, is the "rear" console one piece of alcantara or is it multiple pieces stitched? Finally, what color Alcantara did you use -- 9002 or 9052 (or other)?

9002 for the Alcantara color.

The center console is 2 pieces with a French seam on the passenger side. I did not do the rear part, bc you cannot even see it. I'm going to cover the lid in leather with seams to break up the Alcantara

I recommend 2 seams on the console, bc he struggled with the drivers side. I paid a local guy to do it all.
