If you are looking to cover the interior in alcantara or nice leather pieces, I would take the liberty of going to salvage yards or even eBay to buy those pieces for a lot less, then send them to JPM to be covered.

I personally think it is a pain to maintain on top of everything else for a daily driver, might work well in a show car "only" settup. If it costed 400 to get I think they will charge the same or more to replace as now they have the added task of removing the old. For a suede wrap thats expencive. I would expect 400$ to have it wrapped in CF but suede??? Sorry I just do not see the value.

I have been thinking of getting my steering wheel redone as well, but never found a place that was reasonable enough or that I trusted. Thanks for sharing a paving the way, I'll have to give them a shout. The other thing I want covered that I have seen zero examples of is the center console. Has anyone seen a 350 with a leather or alcantara covered console?

That's pretty sweet, gives the interior a totally new European look. Thinking about wrapping the steering wheel and getting a shift boot when the funds allow for it.

Glad I found this thread, I'm about to buy the black alcantara shift boot with black stitching from JPM.
I really want to update the interior. If I like how the shift boot turns out I think i'm going to do the door cards and armrests in the same material.
My least favorite part about our cars was the center console. Seeing that post above gives me some ideas for what to do with the center console though.
