The panels can be removed if you want to replace it. The center transmission tunnel I am having them do in alcantara right now, and it was pretty reasonable in terms of price. Next I'd like my dash done... |

You can see here how it is on an Audi S4. This is what my S4 had, except I had the carbon fiber inlays instead of brushed aluminum. Off-topic, but I want to paint the "chrome" door handles with a satin metallic paint similar to the Audi's:

I actually asked them about doing just that and they said it wasn't possible.

Anything's possible. Why did they say it wasn't?

This was the email I received a while back and was specifically in reference to the perforated plastic piece:
We have spent a lot of time thinking about your FR-S project and the conclusion is that as of right now we do not have a way where we could do the door panel pieces satisfactorily and ensure that they would last after a reinstallation once they were wrapped. That piece does not separate from the car. It would have to be cut out and bonded back into place. |

Ah, ok. I'm sure it's do-able, the question is how they would adhere it and keep it there.

I LOVE that ideas - but I understand why it's so difficult.
For now I would be happy just swapping the upper and arm rest faux leather sections with Alcantara and stitching. If I had more balls I would consider doing all these in red alcantara with black sticking (door pieces, speaker area, knee pad, shift and parking brake boots. Is anyone attending SEMA? If so, do we have a SEMA pics thread started? |

Has anyone done any sound insulation? Does it make a difference?
