Alcantara - yay or nay?
So I see alcantara as a no cost option - should you not choose it what does the standard anthracite headliner look like? Is it a perforated material or just dull cloth?
As for alcantara - opinions on it in an extended Sakhir leather interior. I prefer a black headliner, but the alcantara to me seems grayish. Is alcantara more suitable for other interior colors? And anyone have additional pics of either headliners besides this one?

Anthracite Alcantra is standard. The no cost option is for Alcantra in the interior color ONLY for individual interior colors (if you want to match it).
As for the color, I am guessing that it is darker than it appears in the picture maybe due to a flash on the camera/phone? To me it is one of the most commented on and luxurious parts of the interior. Come on, a suede headliner! I had this in my 911 as well as other cars and it is one of my favorite features. Aren't you waiting a year anyway? Why dont you just wait to see what it looks like? You are one of the few here that will have that luxury. |

Yep, it is much darker. Closer to black than gray. It is a great feature on the car, and one of my favourites from a luxury point of view. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

I am thinking that the cohiba would be the best color of all. Your other option is black. I would definitely go wth cohiba.
