      the alcantara one looks like a winter coat. i guess it would keep your shift lever warm.

              Suede always suede IMO.

                      Alcantara is a form of suede. It was made specifically for automobile use. Regular suede will fade and turn brown over time.

                              Yes...but only opinion that matters is yours...

                              Unless you have other mtech fabric inside the car I would stick with suede/alcantara.

                                                  The mtech with the tan interior is a lot going on. I would go with the alcantara until there is more cohesion.

                                                      Maybe I'm biased, but I think the Alcantara one looks nicer. :P

                                                      I'm just not a fan of the mtech cloth for some reason. I ran an mtech boot in my car for a while hoping it would grow on me but in the end I had to get rid of it.

                                                          Hey Josh...I think you're right...im switching over to the Alcantara this weekend to see how it looks but the mtech just doesnt seem like it goes with the interior.
