JPM Coachworks Alcantara Center Console

[RallySport Direct]

JPM boys know whats up! :happy0180:
Can not say enough about the quality of work they do, and the great products they offer!

We teamed up for in 2011 SEMA, for the RallySportDirect 2011 STi shop car. A bit off topic, but shows the great work these guys can do...oh and they did the entire interior job in about 36hrs to get it back to us on time!

Simply cant go wrong with the quality of work these guys do

To answer your earlier question, quote for the dash was between $1100 and $1400, which would probably land me closer to the 2 grand mark once I account for shipping. Bit more than I was expecting since it's so small (last I checked it was something like 55"x26"), but I'll have to put some thought into it.

Man, I'm a cheap ass when it comes to most things, but I would really have to have that done. I have donks come through my shop that have 5-10k into their interiors and it never looks close to that quality or finish. I could see dropping 3-5k to have a leather finished interior like that. It makes the cars just look so much more finished. You might never get the Money back at resale, but who cares when you get to sit in it everyday and know almost no one else has one like it.

They're shipping it to me today, so no installed pics yet.

What was the cost on this?

The crazy thing is the difference it makes on the interior and how it changes everything.
Even the smaller items make a huge difference in the overall feel and making the car seem more expensive inside. The stock STi interior was on par with how the BRZ/FRS feels, adding JPM items makes it SOOOOOO much better.

We should have some JPM stuff showing up for our shop BRZ shortly, and we can wait to spice up the interior and show the before and after for you guys and galls

Honestly, I'm pretty amazed JPM has such low prices, relatively speaking. They almost always run about half the cost of what I get quoted locally even when I remove the piece from the car, hand deliver it to them, and then reinstall it myself. Perhaps it just comes down to the cost of doing business in California vs. Georgia and their ability to buy Alcantara in bulk.

Dash and A-pillars I'm waiting on a quote from them. They've been swamped with SEMA, so it's still sitting in my garage. I fear the shipping charges for the dash.

^ Please note the cost on this was already given.

How does that steering wheel feel on the hands after a while?

Exactly, worth every penny! You can feel like you're sitting in an exotic rather than a $25k sports car, and no one would be the wiser. It's nice to know I don't have to buy a big heavy Audi to get an interior full of quality materials. I'd love to send 'em some MR2 parts, but I'm just done with spending money on this car... I may end up selling the car just to pony up cash for upgrades on a BRZ!

Do you mean the longevity of the materials? Or just the general feel?

For me, I LOVE the Alcantara feel on the wheel, it seems to wick away moisture from your hands, and just inspires confidence in the steering as it gives you something really nice to grip on to. Now in regards to the longevity, we have not put many miles on that wheel, but we have customers who have and they are holding up great. I have had a few suede steering wheels personally, and while they do get "worn down" after awhile due to the oils in your hands, but they can easily be brought back to new with the proper cleaning and care.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rick
