Default Alcantara Mods

So my side pillar was terrible from my a$$ rubbing getting in and out of the car so I bought some Alcantara fabric. Sorry for the bad pics, I'm not as good as some documenting my mods. Took an hour to do both sides.

Where did you get the alcantara? I worry with doing something like that and it making the seats look cheap.

Thanks all!!

Materials:
$55 shipped: Deep Black Alcantara 18"x55" (eBay: seller:carbon6composites) - still have about 18"x20" plus left over
$15: 3M Auto / Advanced Headliner & Fabric Adheasive (AutoZone)

I think I will do my shifter bezel and my console lid (just the middle) too with the left over fabric. Thoughts?

BTW. It matches the seat inserts very well too.
