[Sharocks]

Thanks man, A local place in NC that I have used before. Masters Smart Repair. they did the front seats and the rear seats. for he rear they had to create te M arch in the center section as non M sedan seats do not have the Arch.

the door panels were done by me at home.

Kevin does good work but I thought he moved to Hawaii?

here's my M texture Sedan interior. used about 5 yards of m texture from ASC Fabrics to do front and rear seats along with the 4 door cards.

Did you swap them out? Or repaired/dye them red?

Yes, very good recreation of the original fabric been around for a while. M texture is a three layer fabric. Foam, the tartan M style cloth, and then the square perforated alcantara. Why would you do recaros in m texture if the rest of your interior wasn't m texture as well? Would look very strange. Here are a couple photos of my PP ABE's done in M tex to match the rest of my interior.

I plan on getting CSL door cards and the rear seats are out. Something different I guess, i dont want all black. Right now I have spg XLs and was thinking about doing what youre doing.
Never dealt with alcantara seats, how do you care of them?

Im thinking about redoing my Recaros with the M-texture. Did a quick google search and found this

Have you guys heard anything about this website?
It says in the description that theres alacantara in it, i thought M-texture was cloth

The website isn't exactly clear on pricing - is $75 for a 12"x58" ?

Does OEM M-Texture also have squared holes that aren't fully filled in with color like the in that picture? I've never seen it in person.

I believe so based on the detailed pictures posted here which is allegedly a factory M-texture interior:

Yes. It is a tartan style cloth underneath so having areas where it's doesn't have colour underneath is a given. Although there is some subtle colours in the background it's not just black. As far as I can tell the reproduction fabric is pretty much a 1:1 replica of the original material. any differences between it and the original material are pretty much entirely due to wear on the original materials that it is compared with. If you are really picky, the top alcantara layer is maybe slightly different. Thicker by a fraction maybe? But I've been told this is due to the OEM manufacturer of the alcantara changing their process around 2010.

It has always been alcantara.
