All my sweidit stuff is holding up great.

I clean the alcantara with Sonax upholstery conditioner. I smoke cigarettes in my car and it comes out perfect every time when I clean.

The only alcantara in my car that is iffy is my OEM tS gauge cluster hood. The alcantara itself is fine, but the glue is coming undone and I can move the fabric around with my fingers. This is most likely due to sun damage for when I forget to put up my sun shade.

I only have 10k on the odo but so far the alcantara still looks brand new, I think it holds up very well. I'm guilty of not keeping my car super clean all the time but every time I've cleaned it out so far I haven't even touched the alcantara, haven't had to yet. We'll see how it holds up long term.

How do you like that carbon ebrake handle? Is it any thicker than OEM?

I got used to it pretty quickly, it's not thicker, the handbrake boot still fits over it.

sqd I like the choice of materials and scheme. The work on the Center console looks rough though. At least the armrest is now covering that area. I would consider adding another badge on top of the one you have to cover up the slits

Yeah it is that way because there wasn't really any other way of doing it, because the fabric is a bit too thick. But yeah, putting another identical badge on top of the one replacing the buttons for the seat warmers isn't a too bad of an idea actually.. Might consider it!

Little bit of time in the shop last night just about finishing my interior...mostly STI JDM tS parts, blacked out trim, and an alcantara wheel. I really like the change.

Really want a shift knob but can't decide which one. Raceseng is always a good choice but I might need something different.
