Great thread and great work. +1 on JPM being great guys. Hard workers and great CS. I'm local to them, so I decided to drop by and pick up my shifter boot in person. I was impressed with their passion for the work and their attitudes.

I was able to find these from the install, they are a little bit closer. I didn't roll the edge, just cut it with a sharp razor. It's still holding strong which is why you NEED to use real contact cement for Alcantara.

The reason the edge stays so clean is because Alcantara doesn't fray along the edges and good adhesion from proper gluing techniques.

Cheers!

This made me want to order up similar colors for my '11 STI. Thanks for the inspiration, probably attempt this over spring break~

Thanks man,
I would get the Alcantara directly from JPM Coachworks. You can also get it from Gulf Fabrics but I believe they are the ones supplying it to JPM so your getting the same material.

They'll charge you the same price so I vote for supporting JPM instead of the bigger guys. Plus having Alex's support at JPM is worth it's weight in gold.

Cheers!

Thank you for your kind words, Jason. As for the Alcantara material, Gulf Fabrics is the only official importer of the material for the United States. Even Recaro NA in Michigan purchases from Gulf

Best Regards,
Alex
