You weren't joking about liking alcantara
Definitely looks interesting.. you don't have any issues with the sliding door?
, No problem with the sliding door as it's a stick-on thin piece, whereas everything else is moulded and a bit thicker

Me too - I might see if someone wants to swap!I think the wood looks awesome, but I have always had a soft spot for wood trim in cars

Symmetrical as far as I could tell, Its been a while since I installed it and the sides are sided as theres a little endcap bit thats asymmetric (you can see it on some of the pictures others have posted) but I don't recall any cut out.. There's join behind the screen but you can't see that, and that would be the same for left and right hand drive cars.
Forgot to ask, who is this, obviously somebody I know, just don’t want to guess wrong!!Keep going like that Mark and it will look like the Porsche you had

It's obviously your online stalker - look out of your bedroom window, they're probably watching your Tesla right now.........

Funny really how tastes vary so much. I am also a big fan of the wood trim and have been meaning to get for some time one of those kits that turns the centre console lid into the same wood effect.

I just installed my Alcantara dash and am really thrilled! I traded my stock dash top for a covered one from RPM Tesla in California.
The dash top is super easy to R&R, it is simply snapped in place. Not sure how easy it would be to cover it yourself. I didn't make a careful enough comparison to be sure, but it looks like the woodgrain portion is heat staked to the dash cap base. I think that RPM ground/broke/melted the staking to remove the woodgrain part, covered it, and then re-staked the covered woodgrain part. Probably tedious but I would not be afraid to do it if I had time. Finding matching Alcantara is a whole other subject.
Whatever method you choose I'm sure you will be pleased with the result.

Symons just resells the DAJ one so probably better going direct unless you live down south
