Review: Alcantara Refinishing of my Wheel/Shifter/e-Brake

I rarely post reviews. But I'm rarely as "wow'd" as I am with the job that Dallas Custom Steering Wheel did with my interior pieces, so I had to come on and post something.

First of all, Donald responded to e-mail within hours. I asked many questions and had a long e-mail chain with him and he was always quick to respond.

I shipped my wheel/e-brake/shifter off to him (after removing them myself, took about 20 minutes total) on the 17th of July. I just received them back finished today, 10 days later. Impressive turnaround. He also offers expedited turnaround if you need it faster.

The part I'm most impressed with is the QUALITY. I can't tell the difference between these parts and genuine Porsche Alcantara parts. My headliner in my car is genuine factory Alcantara, and Donald's work looks nearly identical, even down to the color of the stitching and the texture of the material.

If I had to nitpick, the color of his Alcantara is ever so slightly lighter in shade than the factory stuff, but you would never notice unless you knew it was aftermarket and were looking for it.

My absolute favorite thing is that he added some extra padding around my wheel to make it thicker. It feels MUCH better in my hands now; the factory wheel thickness was too skinny for my taste. I have a much better grip on the wheel now with the Alcantara and feel in total control of the car.

Anyways, I've bought a lot of mods for a lot of cars over the years, and rarely do they exceed my expectations like this, so I thought I'd write a review.
