Alcantara interior

Yesterday I change some leather details to alcantara - wheel, shifter and handbrake - like GT3 RS because of wheel slippering on track
More pictures here http://wirx.ee/porsche/?dir=.%2Falcantara%2F
It feels great!

IMHO,you should add the yellow centering stripe to the top of the wheel, it will look even better, cheers, Sonny.

That looks great. Nice.

I just ordered a shifter with red stiching. What is the part number for the roof liner? How much was it?

It also looks like your steering wheel is "fatter" than normal. Is that the case? Looks really sharp.

i want "fatter" wheel, because it feels better to hold and we left original leather behind alcantara.
What is roof liner?
I have thinked bout this yellow line, but I guess, that there is no use of it(stock steering).
All this custom alcantara+work cost 300$

Is the centering stripe an add on or do you have to change the entire wheel covering?

one good thing I marked today (here is 6+celsius~44F)steering wheel aren't so cold...as you know leather is very cold usualy at lower temps

I think you can do both ways add centering stripe later or design it when working with wheel.
