I love this kit but I've had it installed in my car for roughly one year and I'm seeing excessive Alcantara breakdown on the steering wheel and shift ****. I make sure my hands are very clean before driving the Vette but I'm really disappointed. The breakdown of the material looks like it went from a very fine microfiber to a leather. Now you can see where I grab the wheel because it's shinny and hard, then the other areas are dull fabric.

that sucks, sorry to hear that man. I kinda thought that would happen that's why I didn't do it. I bet eating cheese doodles and then touching those parts would really eff em up....lol

I wonder if GM would warranty swap it out because it's "defective"? I was never advised when purchasing the OEM parts that they would wear so fast with normal use i.e. 7,000 miles!

It's not defective. It's just the way alcantara wears over the years (or months). when I had a BMW M3 i was considering "upgrading" the interior to alcantara but decided not to after seeing a few used samples in person. It's just looks old and nasty very quickly.
Leather is the way to go.

I like the look of alcantara but I would never do it just for this reason^^^. It's nice to look at but not use. Alcantara is not very resilient.
