Looks real nice. Seems to match your seats well also.
The material does have a bias and it's best to cut all the pieces in the same direction. Just flip the material on that second insert and you'll be spot on.
Great job.
I just received some more Blue color samples in. I think we can find a match for the OEM Blue.

Jeff,

Thanks,

Looks great!I wanted to thank Jeff for the Alcantara,
I installed everything this weekend and I loved it.
I have a bit left so I might do my center console.
I'll post pix if I do.
although I think the pattern runs one way. I might have to take that second panel out and flip the material.
Was this difficult to do DIY?
I am debating doing this myself or replacing the entire section you did in red with CF.
It's pretty easy. Just remove your door panel and screw back on the door handle. That way you can still drive the car while you are working on the panel. It look me about 2 nights to do the door inserts, center bin, and the shift boot. Here's some photos:

Jeff any update pics yet from the blue you just got?
There are 3 options. I will post the pictures of the 3 options in sunlight when I can.
Here are the blue samples.

Here's a pic of my interior ( yeah my mats are dirty quiet Tim ). Looks like the BL106 is the closest match. Any perforated material to match Jeff?

That material is available but not in the US. It would take 5-7 days to arrive. As for the perforated material, I would need to have that custom made. That would be a 20 yard minimum and ~ 3 week lead time. If there is enough interest I will order it.

Doh! Can't catch a break with this can I ..lol The perforated would look so sweet on the doors.
Damn get that half broke vacuum out there and clean will ya! :wink: I agree though the BL106 looks to be the best match and yes the perforated would look hot but I would be happy w/ the non-perforated as well.....
If any of you are looking for the Blue 106 I can order that in. As I mentioned, it would take 3-5 days to get to me. If I can get enough total yardage (say 7 yards) it's worth the shipping. Material would run $72/yard.

Put me on the list for a yard.
Hey Jeff, what's your current stock looking like these days?

New Material Available:
I just got in ~25 yards of this Dark Charcoal Alcantara from Italy. It is slightly wider than normal rolls at 58.5" or 148cm. It has a thin (1/16") foam backing already bonded to it. Great for wrapping interior parts where you want soft corners and fewer wrinkles. Price is $74 /running yard.

New Avorio Alcantara in stock.
This color is slightly "warmer" than the factory Ivory. Very close though.

Hi Jeff,

As a note: the red perforated material was a special color that only Downforce currently has. Arlant Red (perforated).
Hey Jeff, I have an odd question for you. Can you tell me whether or not all genuine Alcantara fabric has the brand logo on the backside? I've been told that the perforated Alcantara doesn't have the logo, but I'm skeptical of that. You're definitely a trustworthy Alcantara reseller, so I'd love your thoughts on this. Hopefully I'll be winning a few of your eBay auctions btw.

Sorry for the tardiness. Just saw this post now.
The Alcantara brand is an OEM exclusive. In some cases, when we get discontinued OEM stock, it will have the Alcantara logo on the back. Others will have the brand markings on the role core (cardboard tube the material comes on). Some will have the brand stamp on the first yard of the material with the lot numbers. Also, much of our new material is special contract production. This is made for us to the specification of the Alcantara (tightness of pile, UV protection, fire retardant, etc). Perfect example is the deep black. That originally was an OEM Alcantara stamped material that was discontinued. Because of the popularity, we contracted the manufacturer to make that exact material for us. Because there are only limited colors and even more limited availability of the current OEM material, We end up having to do customs material/die runs.
A few years ago, I would say if does not have the Alcantara logo on it, it's fake. Now, you need to do your research. Even some OEM companies use the same grade material but do not pay the licensing to call it "Alcantara". I have worked with Toray for a few years now. They will validate any material we have. Hope that helps.
