The stitches do not match the original stitches! Otherwise, it looks great

To me, that's CF overload.... He put it in every conceivable place.

That is what you call too much of a good thing. And thumbs down on the gloss CF.

Wow, that's overkill and just gave me a headache. And the glossy, whatever CF wrap looks like crap. This reminds me of a car from Mtv pimp my ride show....

To me that looks like somebody vomited carbon fibre all over the interior... and not in a good way.

The carbon pieces look awful and the pattern is wavy and looks like a mess. I think it is hydro dipped with a clear sprayed over it because the pattern really doesn't look like carbon. Either way I'm not a fan.

I like some of the alcantera, but cannot understand why they skimped on the CF after all that work and money. Looks like a poor attempt at CF print plastic...

Really like the pedals though.

Agree the carbon bits look horrid. And cheap. But I would still keep the alcantara dash and lower dash maybe with a matching stitching.

The car has also been matte wrapped. And wheels plastic dipped in a similar carbon patterned material.

It was done in Lebanon.

I have asked a UK reputable upholsterer and he said alcantara dash should not be an issue, airbag also not an issue as most manufacturers just wrap their own dash without issues. Just need to get idea of cost but I think it could be a nice upgrade.

Failing that maybe only instrument binnacle ?

How else to you expect the aftermarket manufacture to make money if they don't offer every single thing they can in CF vs. tastefully applying it hear and there.

Not a fan of this, at all....I do like the idea of covering some of the plastic parts with Alcantara but this is total overkill.

I always liked the gloss cf, that is, until the open pore in the M2 came out. I love it and would choose it over glossy every time if given the option.

The cf looks like it was a hydrographics dip job. Look at the AC vents

The alcantara job is on point though, woah

Just wondering if anyone has been crazy enough to try it?
Alike the 1M (Alcantara + Kyalami Orange stitching) ?

It's not carbon fiber. It's hydro dipped

I really do love the alcantara dash with the blue stitching. Gotta see if someone in NJ can do a job like that. Looks super nice. The CF on the other hand is overkill. I would keep the open pore (looks raw to me which goes with the style of the car) and just add a few pieces like the shift knob and steering wheel inlet. Not much more though.

If anyone knows anyone on the east side that can do this type of alacantara work please let me know 🙌

It would be cool to see a dakota leather dash or merino one.
