    My buddy does custom car interiors and did my old wagon in all black suede. (Headliner&pillars) I was thinking about going all out in the STi and using all genuine perforated alcantara to match the front seats. (Eventually I'll have him do the rear seats in this to mach the fronts too) but for now I don't know if I want to do blue or black perf for the headliner,pillars,sun visors. I think blue would look cool just don't know if it would be too much. Let me know what you guys think.

    I like the look. I have seen a few 3G cars with the dash done. I would love to do that some day.

    I will be doing this to some of the door parts and center console of the Z, but with leather and red stitching to match the seat re-upholstering I'm doing.

    You know that Alcantara is going to be the red velour of the 2010s, right?

    Ask, and you shall receive. He would be willing to part with it if you came to Fargo. Would want to swap out all the trim also likely(his has all be painted to match the dash).
