    Hello guys, I was detailing my car so I thought I would change something up, I bought BMW black headliner, I want something special, so I wrapped the pillars with alcantara, also with a M3 alcantara steering wheel. Eveything is DIY and this is how its looks ! I love that black headliner with...

    Does anyone have a method for cleaning an alcantara? Preferably without having to buy any chemicals or tools. Home remedy would be great. My E46 has 100k miles and never properly cleaned it. It is very matted down and doesn't feel good. Thanks

    Someone in another thread pm'd me about my headliner. Figured I would make a thread about it in General Forum. What happened is my slicktop's headliner started to sag. It's usually garage stored overnight, but could not that summer month. So not sure if it was the heat, the heat shock, or just...

    https://youtu.be/XaAT7V4DozI Just had Coby Wheel do my ZHP wheel in OEM Alcantara with tri-color motorsport stitching. Overall it came out great, feels amazing (had it thickened) compared to the oem alcantara with 227k on it which was sticky and gross. Where do you guys get your wheels...

    Hi All, I'm new to the forum, I'm trying to recondition my steering wheel for my e46 BMW M3. There is quite a bit of wear on the paint of the cover and the alcantara is worn down to a rubbery finish. Buy a new wheel is quite $$$$ any thoughts on vendors who can do a good refinishing job? I'm...

    Hey I'm Will, I've Been changing my car since I bought it in 2009. But it was nothing too serious, Until now... The dash in my car started out as black molded vinyl, and it has done the trick for 11 years, but it just wasn't interesting to look at. I was recently in an auto upholstery...

    Hey folks, I picked up some Sonax Alcantara cleaner from DD (thanks Phil) the other week. I put together a quick how to use it video. Overall, I like the product, I would probably use a more saturated with water towel at the end to remove more of the product, but otherwise it worked well...

    I'm going to be wrapping my interior trim in the next week or two. I'm deciding between a vinyl carbon fiber wrap or a Alcantara wrap. I'm leaning towards Alcantara but was wondering if anybody had experience with this and how difficult it is to do. Does the trim snap back in place ok even...

    Well after selling my previous IR zhp sedan, I bought an IS350 which I owned for three days before my friend sent me a link to this ZHP. It was an 03 IR ZHP sedan with a VF supercharger and some other mods I really liked. Immediately, I knew I had to buy it. It was in California so after a few...

    I want Alcantara shift and e-brake boots for my M3 to match my alacantara wrapped steering wheel (from cobywheel). CobyWheel and bimmean both sell the boots. Is there an advantage of one over the other? The bimmian boots are a little cheaper as well. In any case I am looking at black alcantara...

    I ordered the OEM performance ssk for my 325i and it comes with an Alcantara boot. I love the look of the boot along with the brushed alluminum knob with Alcantara inserts. The only problem is that my car has a grey interior so it doesnt really match anything. I took a trip to the local fabric...

    Do you like the boot? I bought it from ShiftStyle.com. It is Gray Alcantara with White Stitches. The car is Alpine White with Black Leatherette interior. I thought the Gray made a promising two-tone effect, along with the white stitching to bring in the exterior color of the car. So far, no...
