    here's what I did (commissioned, of course).
    I only did this panel at the rear of the seats. All other interior panels are untouched surrounding this panel.
    I can't really tell if the color is different than OEM if i don't look closely with direct sunlight torching into the car.

    a few months ago , i re-did my other 360's dash using alcantara 9002. that's a terrible color in my opinion. way different than OEM. i don't have a picture to show it but it looks very aftermarket and cheap, to me.

    Looks like they're doing a god job.

    what happened to the original to begin with?

    original one is just old, and discolored with foams underneath disintegrated.

    Interesting that the upholsterer has chosen to join multiple pieces of fabric, and then add the decorative red stitch either side.

    Isn't the OEM part a single piece of foam backed Alcantara with the coloured stitching being purely decorative? It is in the F430. There is no reason to join multiple pieces on a flat sheet.

    This is exactly the way mine was done. I don't think the factory is a faked single piece (admittedly never looked that deeply). Are you sure ?

    I'd suggest you tend to get a better quality result than faking it because where the material joins up it folds over and you won't get that edge in the middle between the 2 red stitched decorative lines which would just look weird. Also I'd think the factory would want to optimize the use of the 30 Meter rolls used and doing cuts like this should allow them to maximize the amount of material thrown away...

    PS. The foam backing may be a single piece but surely not the Alcantara?

    Yes, all one piece. If it wasn't it's just needless weight because there's no need for a join on a flat panel - only on compound curve areas where the material won't stretch in multiple planes. It looks better without the joins because the material lays flat on the backing material.

    That is for the F430 - I know because I had my rear panel trimmed in Alcantara.

    It may have been different on the 360.

    Modena and CS have different rear panel trims. the modena is a one piece.

    I'm talking about the dividing line between material pieces...

    If you just sew 2 red lines and have no divider it would look odd!

    See pic attached. In terms of weight it cannot be more than a few grams if excess material is correctly trimmed from behind each adjoining piece. See my picture.. just ran into garage and took a picture of mine... Anyone care to share a close up of the join on their car .. as for being flat mine is as flat as you can get at the joining surfaces because the backing foam takes up that extra (very fin) edge of material.


    curious now!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Sorry I don't know, I've got at least another 30M roll left in storage at my place in Italy including the red accents cottons etc to do it all again in the future if need be. Next time I am there I will try to take a look.

    I completely understand. You guys are correct: it is a 360CS thing. In quality terms it is better, but in lightweight terms: not so much.

    One of those things :)

    e-brake boot, new and old

    question on this: can CS owner confirm that this boot is glued on the back of the carbon without any metal clip ( Modena has metal clips at the back)

    I don't plan to re-wrap the seats and the lower dashboard, because they are in good condition.

    So, side note, to shorten the down time, I've made some strategy on which panel to re-wrap first and which last.

    You can't drive the car without the upper dashboard, because the instrument panel is secured to it. so that is the bottle neck #1.
    you can't drive the car without the carbon central tunnel , because the start button is on it, so that is another bottle neck, #2.
    That's why you see I re-wrap these 2 first.

    All other panels can be absent and you can drive the car without them.
    But, the thing is, you cannot just install the B-pillar panel(the one that houses the 3-point seat belt) first and then install any panel in front of this panel. They were designed to be removed from the rear-most panel of the car all the way to the front, including the upper dash. In other words, if you want to remove the upper dash, the first thing you need to remove, is the B pillar panel, then roof side panel, then A pillar panel, then upper dash. They were inter-covered each other.

    So, next thing is the panel that runs across the dome light, doing that now.
    next is A pillar panels,
    next is roof side panels,
    next is horizontal cross panel at rear of the roof
    next is B pillar panels (that houses the seatbelt)
    last is the panel inside of the quarter glasses and the panel above the bulkhead


    same logic applies to Modena interior.

    a local shop in China.

    all interior panels , excluding seats, excluding lower dash, excluding door panels (no alcantara on door panel) US $1500 labor. I provided the material to them.

    Randy, I just got mine done actually, was going to send everything to Dave because his work looks awesome but he didn't seem like he had the time. So I found someone local that actually did an AMAZING job. His moto was no wrinkles and straight stitching so I went for it.
    I got the same color code 9052.

    Modded CS style upper dash with squared bottom edges. Custom modded lower dash. all 24 interior panels all like CS including sun visors.
    I haven't unwrap them yet until the install. This is going on my gated 360 cs conversion but not like Randy or Trev(they to crazy for me)
