New Alcantara parts!

Hi guys-

(I already posted this on RL but some of you probably don't read both of these so I thought I'd re-post here as well).

I ordered some new parts for my little red road rocket. I was looking for an Alcantara steering wheel to give me a little more grip of the wheel, and well, I got carried away as usual. So new steering wheel in Alcantara, new shift lever and arm rest. Fun little DIY upgrade. I was not thrilled with the standard leather wheel and really liked the Alcantara versions I've looked at in a couple GTS's.

Anyway, so far I LOVE this purchase. The steering wheel is awesome. Great feel. Super grippy! I added the other two parts to bring it all together I guess. I like the look too.

Alec

Great job! I'm not a fan of the feel of alcantara myself, but that really looks nice. Love the center armrest.

Lovely. Plan on doing the wheel and shifter myself sometime.

Gorgeous! Congrats.

I never thought I'd fall in love with Alcantara *this* much, but after sitting in a Alcantara-specced GTS months ago, I knew I had to order mine with the same spec.

The steering wheel is a joy to use. Enjoy

Nice. I have a GTS with the GTS Interior Package that includes a bunch of Alcantara, and leather also. I wasn't sure how I would like it, but after a little over a year of ownership, I love it.
