I'm not a 'sweat'er, so I'm ok w/ whatever material. It's just hard to look at myself in the mirror if I have to go w/ vinyl, even if it looks like leather(?) LOL. Heck, when I bought a sofa, there was an option to have the 'hidden' panels (i.e. backside) in fake leather, but I wouldn't be able to live w/ myself. (just my personal taste; no offence intended)

I like this relatively new (well, not really, but newer compared to old setups) of alcantara/leather: luxury+practicality. Seems like the way to go (or maybe full alcantara if it looks nice).

OP, those seats look amazing, love that racing stripe on them.
