Red Interior in my 2008 G37 Coupe
Installed Red IPL Interior in my 2008 G37 Coupe
Hey all - installed the IPL seats in my G, was a direct bolt on. I'm in love and probably the best purchase I have made to make me fall back in love with my coupe. I was highly considering purchasing an M4 - but hopefully this makes me stay away from any type of unnecessary down payment for the next 2 years or so. I also purchased the red insert panels so they should be on the way.
Side note - I will be replacing the headliner most likely and came to the conclusion of two options:
-------------------
Red Alcantara
Black Alcantara
-------------------
Please vote!

Ah I didn't look to see where you were from. I'm sure it'll be quadruple that here in the U.S. I could do the trim paint myself but the headliner needs a pro.
Alcantara is synthetic. It's just a brand name like ultra suede. It's all just faux suede as opposed to real suede which is the inside portion of a hide. I used to do alcantara motorcycle seat recovers and I once did a pair of racing seats but a headliner is a completely different animal, especially in Alcantara.
JohnnysG, let us know what they quote you cost-wise. And I voted for black. I think the red will show more dirt, much like the tan liner, with time.

I am going to go with black and I may make a DIY if one is not already up
