Perforating Alcantara

Hey All,

So I swapped in BRZ seats into my FRS to have alcatara which matches the rest of my upgraded interior. Now that its getting to be summer, I'm noticing the alcantara is quite warm, and doesn't seem to facilitate breathing well.

I'm curious if anyone has a similar issue, and has found a solution? I was thinking that perforating the middle alcantara sections of the seat may be an option, but I am not certain if something like that is possible (I know there is such a thing as perf alcantara, just not if it is possible to have it done to an already constructed seat).

Any information, or tips on how you guys deal with hot seats in the summer would be appreciated.

Thanks.

My advice is, Don't. But if you do, I have a set of stock frs seat skins I'll sell you.

I blast the ac. I have black leather that gets HOT
