Alcantara?

What does everyone think, how would the interior look with accents of alcantara throughout? Do you think they will make pieces for the Z or will it be just individuals who use it on their own?

Um touring model interior has alcantra in the doors and seats.

Sorry I didn't write in there I meant for the base model. Would this be an easy switch or would it have to be different. Sorry for the noob question just not too familiar with the different models I've only seen a base with sports package.

Ill be in at nissan today looking at a base model, ill check and see if the door panel inserts look swapable.

If you like Alcantara (like I do) i'd get the base seats completely re-upholstered.
Accents only, would look weird IMO.

It'd be cheaper to get them re-upholstered...
I've done it before with a G35.

I would love to have say the door panel inserts in alcantara the seats either all or maybe just the center, I would switch the seats out more than likely. Shifter boot and those kind of small accessories. I would even like to see the headliner done, but this is something I'd wait to see someone else do first. Could be overkill and look out of place in the car.

That was my thinking also. Get the door inserts done and the middle portion of the seats.

Does anyone what something like that would cost?
