    Was wondering if anyone has done a full alcantara with carbon in a 355 before? I had this done to one of my NSX and it turned out great. I plan on replacing the NSX with a 355 Berlinetta and wondered if this has been tackled before.

    Here is a pic of the interior that was done.

    Thanks in advance.

    CF 355 seats are rarer than rocking horse sh*t. :D:D

    If you do find some, be prepared to pay top dollar. I think they were an Aussie $10K option from the factory, from new. :D:D

    The last few sets I have seen sell on Ebay were a sold at a premium from memory. :D:D

    You may be lucky to have an Fchatter here that knows of someone selling a pair. :):)

    Good luck, they are fantastic seats! :D:D

    While not a "full " Alcantara, I did the upper dash (I like the contrast of materials with the lower dash still the leather), partial door panels and the pads under the rear and rear side windows in dark charcoal Alcantara in my '97 355.
    I have a pair of carbon fiber sills that I have from a group buy that I'll install shortly.
    I did the Alcantara in 2003. It's held up wonderfully.
