suede won't age well at all, it has little to no UV protection. Alcantara will age better, but it's not very stretchable iirc, so beware.

Do you know what Suede (material) looks like?

Alcantara looks nearly identical.

what car is this for? a suede dash in a honda looks ridiculous, but if you have a caddy or something, by all means go for it. alacantra is more expensive than suede btw( type r seats and some recaro's have alacantra)
