If I buy the centre dash pieces I'll also get those too. Please let me know how they turn out and pics if you could! Appreciate it! Can't wait to find out.
I guess shipping estimate is like November though?

Wrapped center console in Alcantara

did you get an estimated shipping date? I am itching to order this if it looks okay.
I tried a different approach and covered the center console in "Alcantara". I like the result very much, the edges can be modelled very well (I've never used foil before - went well the first time). Can be easily fixed and removed again and tried again. In addition, the film is very "stretchy" ). Now the fabric has to be UV-resistant and get not red/brown. Maybe I'll find a better foil, which simulates the grey of the Model 3 Alcantara better. But it's a good proof of concept at least..
What do you think about it?
Looks nice from regular viewing distance! Def like the subtleness of it!

I have been thinking about doing the same thing. I like how it matches the door panels and doesn't introduce a new color or surface finish. I would like the soft touch when opening and closing.
My 1 concern is and spills or splashes from being around the cupholders ... how is that working out?

It's been a while and forgot I posted here. It took 2.5 weeks to arrive. It looks ok just take your time installing.

I can no longer see the pics in the original post. Does anyone have a copy of the pics or have their own pics of the center console wrapped in Alcantara?

I love anything that is alcantara. I think the center console in alcantara looks great. Just that it might get dirty pretty quick. Still love the look.

The 2-pieces I received were shipped from the US - according to the packaging. (Amazon)
If you are talking about purchasing Alcantara so you can "wrap" it yourself, there is only 1 distributor of Alcantara in the US -- Gulf Fabrics out of Miami area.There are some resellers through, but be cautious of imitation products that may discolor over time. I trimmed a lot of interior parts in Alcantara on my 997 Turbo. It isn't hard at all to do yourself...probably easier than vinyl wrap. I provided some diy instructions on how I did things here, but you can find other instructions on the web I'm sure.

And if you don't like the look of it afterwards, then just rip it off. I plan on giving this a try if I can't find another good alternative.
