I work with Relicate Leather now, they are one of the official distributors for Genuine Alcantara, I can order any color, type of Alcantara.
Durable in what regard? I'm looking for stuff that can get dirty, wet, abraded, etc without any issues. I'll do some research into marine alcantara...

UV resistance, water resistance, wear rating.

For your needs, most definitely Alcantara Avant is needed. It's for open top Jeep?

Nope, Cherokee has a fixed roof but it does get muddy and the winter time brings about a lot of sand, salt, water, slush, etc into the interior that I'd hate to have damaged. I'll look through the interior and see if there are any items that would be worthwhile to wrap and let you know.

Do you ever grab junkyard parts and sell those and give customers a rebate once you get their original part?
I have two small pieces that had eBay stick on crap when I bought the car. They left a residue I can't remove. I don't know how to even get the piece off. It's the piece that surrounds the window controls on each door. Thx!

For FRS/BRZ, I have purchased every single interior panels as an extra, so I can easily do a core exchange. All other cars, the customers ship me the panels or drop off the panels to get the work done. PM me the photo of it.

How are your panels faded if they face down?
I think you just wanted to pretend to want something so you can finally meet up and use that chloroform you were too scared to use last time.

To this, I will add that Alcantara feels amazing in your hands. My steering wheel is half wrapped in Alcantara and I find myself just gently caressing the material when stopped at a light I have it on a few other places, like the door cards, the seats and a small bit on the lower portion of the center console, and I shit you not, it puts you in a happy place when you feel how soft it is.

It feels fan-fucking-tastic to the touch.

Resist. You will want to do other panels too once you get one done.

It really is awesome to touch. Truly feels sporty and luxurious at the same time.

Some of my friends use #softlikemygirlsass on their Instagram posts... I hate that hashtag.

Some photos of this S2K. All with Black and Red Alcantara. He wanted his door panel insert to be solid Red, no stitching.

Some detail shot of the S2K doors. I would have gone with Black top and Slate (Charcoal Grey) middle for them, but they aren't mine, so WHATEVER. I want a S2K..

Didn't do a proper photoshoot for this guy yet since he's changing the wrap color. He's doing it in alpine white or something, it's like greyish white vinyl color. He wants it to pop his new interior better. hahaha

Haha yeah, guess he has a friend who does exterior wrap. He can get it done for less than $500 he said.

Yeah! It would look so much better in white. He wants more Red now that he has seen it. haha

that is definitely not a market rate. probably more of a hookup price.
