Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wondering everyones opinon. I love CF to death but just to expensive for some parts, not that Alcantara is cheap but a good alternative.. Which is generally "worth" more? Reason I'm asking is I have my door handles wrapped in black Alcantara and was considering trading possibly for some CF ones but didnt know the "value". thanks

POST 2Original post

I have neither, but I would use Alcantara over the CF. Looking at GT3s with Alcantara interiors and steering wheels looks very nice to me.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I love the Alcantara just as much, but mine came with black and to me it looks pretty much stock, lighter gray or charcoal would look much better. I have the handles and door pockets and those little covers in the front side of the shifters and its looks just a bit plain in black.

POST 5Original post

I can handle the alcantara on the roof liner, but I don't like it anywhere else in the car. The heavy use of alcantara in the 997 GT3 is one reason I would not buy one. It looks OK when new, but after a few years of use, it gets matted and looks terrible. But that's just my opinion.... and what the hell do I know..... I drive a Honda!

I agree with you Captain Honda, I love the way it looks but had Alcantara inserts on the seats in my Audi S4 and after 2 years it looked like crap. If it's in a place that gets no wear and tear like the headliner it's awesome. I guess the CF is personal preference, I'm not a fan.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 7386825

I agree on so many levels.

POST 9Original post

A combination Alcantara/Carbon Fiber would be awesome Alcantara (Big parts) - Dash, roof liner, door panels Carbon fiber (Smaller parts)- rear console, upper console, shifter, e-brake, steering wheel, door handles, air vents...

POST 10Original post

I think too much in the way of accent pieces detract from the interior, personally. I think understated is more classy, anyone climbing into your car already knows its a 911, and that is enough.

If that ^ is true ( and I don't think it is) it only proves how low you guys have set your expectations for a super hero! The Green Lantern had his ring, Batman had the Batmobile, but the "RL Renegade" drives the White Tulip! Somehow I don't think that is going to strike fear in the hearts of the bad guys!

You guys crack me up... You must have WAY too much time on your hands Too bad you're so far away or i'd get you over for a couple of beers! Oh, and to keep some resemblance to the OP. I'd vote for Alcantara

POST 19Original post

Have never seen the mix of CF and Alcantara, but, that sounds interesting. Also, as previously said, you've gotta keep the Alcantara on the low wear areas. Really shows use after a while.
