I can tell you here because no forum vendors are licensed to sell it...only 2 sources in the USA and 1 in Holland. Cost varies from $60-100/yard...just google it and/or do a search on ebay. However, I think my source has temporarily closed, but he posts on the NSX forum. If you find what you want let us know, as this stuff is hard to get if you are not an OEM supplier.

That Alcantara is hard to source! I've found 3 sources so far, as much as $129 a yard!!!! I might have to try out the Ultra-suede instead.

I was lucky and got mine on ebay...it is the end cut, so was priced about half of the major seller. I see no reason why the ultrasuede would not work, and the selection is fantastic. Be sure to order a sample board before you decide. the sample boards are only a couple bucks and they have all the color swatches on them...only way to go.
