This matches the Alcantra of the seats rather well..

Distinctive Fabric

 

It is a pain in the *** to get sand out of the tweed fabric of the seats and door panel.

I don't think he's talking about the Alcantara. The meshy woven material is what's on the door panels and middle section of the seats.

 

I've got mint pass/driver door panels for sale if your interested. Let me know.

 

i wouldn't mind doing my inserts in red alcantara to match the rest of my interior. hmmmmmmm.

Who cares? That's what you get for going to the beach in the R!

Yea the beach sand is a PITA to get out but I can't resist going to the beach in the R. I actually had 2 chicks in a GS-R come up one day talking about the R and asking about it.

i believe the jdm dc5 panels are the same material as the dc2's. Tweed.

LoL. I was not the one to get sand in the R though. The two ladies in the swimsuits, whose ***, thighs and back were covered with sand, did not bother to rid themselves of the sand before entering. The next morning, I went out to my car to drive home and saw sand all over the seats. I spent an hour yesterday trying to clean out all the sand with the lint remover rolls.

yup, and in the faux-suede so it will look a bit cleaner. more to match my interior color than to fake the jdm look (although i do have the dc5 seats.. .hrm)

has anyone ever worked with this stuff before? or ordered from these guys? guess it doesn't matter much for door inserts though...

has anyone ever worked with this stuff before? i guess so long as the fabric matches in color/ texture, it doesn't matter much for door inserts o_O

 

I have a set of door panels I redid that have the alacantra ( in black ). It does give the interior a nicer look. Unfortunately.....they're getting tossed because the helper I had that did one side used too much adhesive aka...one side looks decent, the other side looks jacked up

omg penpen lol.. i was thinking the exact same thing, i've been trying to source out some decent price itr panels so don't screw up mine. lol...i was thinking of just dying it

 

Yeah I got a question.. that mesh of a fabric thats on teh door panels. on mine, the upper part is coming off. any specific type of glue to glue it back on?

Actually....the only difference between ITR door panels and other Integra door panels ( black of course ) is the insert material and the speaker cover....you could probably get away with using any door panel from a 94-01 integra as long as its black. Just swap out the insert ( and if you want ) and the speaker covers and no one would know any better

 

when I did the custom alcantara on there, I used 3m spray adhesive....but becareful not to overspray it........and to let it dry thoroughly before handling it.

I swear my girlfriend is out to bring the beach home with her; took me forever to vacuum the thing out and its still not 100%.

 

have you tried a soft brissled brush? ( and some goggles coz the grains love poppin off the material and into your eye )

 

hey naruto i know they are practically the same, but i was thinking of just dying hte material rather than finding new material, thats why i was sourcing out itr panels so that i can just dye it rather than buying normal panels and than sourcing for material. but we'll see what happens.

 

ah i see now. That's possible, but won't you have to take off the inserts first?
