A couple of pictures of my newly-installed carbon fiber/alcantara shift ****/boot and alcantara GT3 ebrake. The pieces were from Suncoast and the indy install was about an hour total for both. I think it looks pretty sharp with the stone gray interior. Enjoy!

Nice. Now you need to just keep the fingerprints off of it.

That does look good. You didn't DIY the install? Be glad - it is kind of a pain to swap the ebrake-handle. Took me way longer than an hour to do all that.

Thanks for the compliments! Stevepow, no, I didn't DIY. The shop I used has done this a number of times so I think they're pretty efficient. All else being equal I love a good DIY car project but neither time nor temperature in Boston is a friend right now...

It looks really good with the grey leather, I'll have to think about that for mine. How does it hold up over time? On the gear shift and steering wheel specifically?

Alcantera...................

I love that look. Have a full head of hair still at 51, but would consider an Alcantera toupe if the time came. Light weight and durable, I like that!!!

Just a quick plug for Suncoast. Have talked with them on the phone several times about various parts. They are always very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. I specified to my indy to order the carbon/alcantara parts only from Suncoast and the prices were really competitive.
