Alcantera parts....

I'm thinking of getting this steering wheel and shift **** for my Turbo. Price is not too steep for Porsche parts. Opinions?

I saw a C2, or possibly C4, Champion had for sale in autotrader with alcantera seat inserts. Is this an option from the factory or did Champion do this themselves?

Alcantara on steering wheel and shift **** gets really dirty and grimey. I would advise against it. On seats, however it really works well. Much more resilient than leather.

I've seen specials on the steering wheel only from brandywine and if I remember correctly the steering wheel (without the airbag) was $400-$500 no more. That was about 6-8 months ago and they said it could be special ordered. I am not affiliated with these guys in any way its just something I remember reading.

yeah go for it, but get the regular gt3 steering wheel, not the RS because the orange stiching will throw off the look inside.
