What color Alcantara? Black should look great. Please post a DIY if you get a chance and also links to where you bought the alcantara from.

Hope you don't have pano roof. It's quite difficult to glue on that horrible surface

What are the costs involved in your swap, please?
I have an alcantara top in my C7 Vette & it’s a nice touch.

TIA

I hope you won't be doing DIY on this, it really needs to be done by professional upholstery shop!
Its not an easy task for sure!
