best place to find cf and alcantara bits

hey guys,

looking for some cf and/or alcantara bits for the inside of my 997.2 c4s

i was thinking of doing red RS door pulls along with red alcantara e-brake/arm rest

thoughts on where i could find these other than sun coast?

Thanks

I've purchased from both and been very pleased. It felt as though DB cost less when comparing (with good quality), but could take a while for delivery given international shipping times to US. They also had about every piece you could imagine on the site (not necessarily in stock, though).

My first 997.2 had the extended CF interior package, so these vendors helped me add a few pieces that helped finish the look without going overboard. I added the Light Switch and Ignition bezels along with a couple of door handle trims and door storage bin trim. I only wish I could find a few alcantara pieces at more reasonable prices (lower dashboard and door cards) than the factory pieces available via Suncoast...even after their generous discount they're still too pricey for my current stingy pocket.

I loved cf when I had it in my C2S, but have seen some that in my mind were a little overboard. With the alcantara coming standard on the GTS I quickly fell to prefer it. But I think a mix of the 2 would be sweet as you could balance them without doing too much of either.

Hmmm...now that I say that I think it might cost me some $$$ as I've got some ideas.

I'd go with alcantara. I am currently doing some alcantara and paint upgrades on my boxster spyder. I should be done in a month and will post some photos.
