G35 Coupe
Well the willow matching will be more difficult than I thought. It turns out that Toray no longer makes Alcantara in catalog colors, since back in 08 they went OEM only. So to get a hold of a specific color would be equivalent to saying: "I want the shade of the alcantara seats found in lets say a 2011 Porsche gt3" and if that matches then thats your color. The smallest color sample I can get a hold of is 5 meters at $114/yard lol. Anyone know of a supercar with an alcantara interior that might resemble the G35 willow color ????

I want one!
Not a huge fan of the "stripe", but overall they look good and your stitching looks awesome.
Cant wait to see an installed pic.

How much do you charge mate. Just Alcantara with gray stitching.

G35 Coupe
One more just finished, pretty happy with how it turned out

And no luck with the willow interior matching, unfortunately I haven't really had much time to pursue that. Sorry
