^ bump to answer some PM’s Only 2 suppliers carry actual Alcantara (it’s a brand name) One is “Gulf Fabrics” in Florida ( [http://www.gulffabrics.com/](http://www.gulffabrics.com/) ) . The other is in NYC, but i forget the name. I picked up some my Alcantara from the UK because it had a foam backing on it: [http://www.martrim.co.uk](http://www.martrim.co.uk) it was $90/yard. Without the foam backing, it was about $80/yard from the stateside shops. ---

> [@sLONISMO](#): > > good work man save some $$$ for sure not quite… after everything was send and done. I think they were somewhere in the neighborhood of $1200 for the pair. That doesn’t factor my time into it either. But i didn’t make them with the intention of saving money. ---

mainly because the design was custom as well. I drew out where i wanted the seams/stitching to be. It wasn’t like recovering a seat where they took the old covers off and used them as a template. ATM Restyle FTW! btw. ---
