Probably replacing with new alcantara that's the only way.

yeah, the door inserts and arm rest too. i think the headliner and pillars would be wierd because those aren't typically wrapped in leather, but could be cool.

The headliner/pillars can look great IMO. Ever been in an Ls430UL? The contrast in textures/materials looks really nice in person.










I would probably do mine in a dark grey personally. Not the same color as the Alcantara on the seats.

Those were aftermarket however cars do come like that. I believe the Audi R8 offers it.. The Ls430 Ultra Luxury had it as well.

Here is a pic of my ls430.

Who and where did you have the seats done? Not my color or at least the color in the picture, but nicely done.
