Looks very nice Fabryce!!! However, I have an upholstery guy down the street that has done great work in the past, and am only looking for a cheap way of buying the material needed. It's funny how hard this stuff is to find. A girlfriend of mine works for Mood Fabrics in NYC, and she can't even get a hold of any.
I bought from these guys..just let them know which color...and if you want the thick or thin stuff

Just got of the phone with Gulf Fabrics and the thin stuff is about $75 a yard and the thicker stuff(used for seating) is about $80. The yard is 36x52 and is more than enough to cover a seat according to the lady on the phone. She is sending me some color swatches, gray and black, for free.

I got my dash, shift **** and e-brake covered in genuine Alcantara by my local guy and everything is holding up. Alcantara can easily be wiped off with a damp towel. Next up is an Alcantara steering wheel.

More pics of the dash please! I am thinking about doing the dash and part of the door panels in alcantra, especially since my leather dash is bubbling. If you could pm the price of the dash work I would appreciate it so I have some idea of where to start in negotiations when i find someone in miami to do the work.

EnvymyM3, call Gulf Fabrics. Dr. Joe listed there contact info above. I called them and asked for some swatches. They were very knowledgable about the product and sent me the swatches free of charge, in two days!
