Interest: Alcantara Wrapped Steering wheel + Interior bits
 

Hey Folks,

I'm currently in contact with JPM Coachworks, which some of you may remember did Bullitt's interior a while back. I was talking with Alex from JPM about doing a group buy for the370z.com and he said sure as long as there was enough interest.

EDIT: Here are Bullitt's pics.

Here are some other examples of their work for different cars.

They can do a lot more than just the steering wheel for those who are interested.

As far as pricing goes, this is what I got from Alex.

They are asking for 5 buyers to receive the discounts. I am not a vendor here, so I cannot do anything commercially. This is a preliminary step to establish how much interest there is in the product, the official GB will come if there is enough interest.

Keep in mind you will NOT lose electronic steering wheel controls and you will NOT lose your airbags as you would with an aftermarket racing wheel. You get the feel of a racing wheel without losing the stock functionality.

Honestly, if any of you have ever felt a racing wheel or a BMW sport alcantara wrapped wheel you know what this is all about. Feels comfortable, sporty and it doesn't slip and slide everywhere like the leather one can. Also for you folks in very hot or very cold weather, no more having to hold a freezing cold / scorching hot wheel when you get back in the car.

So let me know what you guys think and I'll relay the info back to JPM Coachworks.

- RCZ

I'd be in if the pricepoint was a little lower. I love alcantara wheels, but it's not really worth it IMO for almost $400

I will have to say Joe and Alex's wheel they did for me is Phenomenal!!! Especially, on the track I have so much more grip and the alcantera is a lot softer too. RCZ has my permission to use my pics and I will see what I can do to get more for you guys. They can also do CF and leather too!

Another note: I am going to have Joe and Alex do my airbag cover too! They have a pic of an s2000 steering wheel that is SICK!!!!

^ its a lot of work and they place a lot of attention to detail. I will ask them if they can go lower, but honestly, last time I asked another company it was $500 to do one wheel. Its something you're going to be staring at EVERY time you get in the car. I think $375 is not that bad considering what people are willing to pay for other bits they will see once a month when they pop their hoods.

Also this isn't just aesthetic, there's a reason why this type of material is very commonly used in motorsports like WRC and GT. Did I mention Lamborghini agrees?

Hmm...I haven't heard of JPM. The quality of their work looks great!

Good luck with the group buy.

Hmm...okay, I'll think about it, but it does look really nice. Suffice that if they do manage to drop the price point slightly, I will definitely be in.

EDIT: Hey Mike, can you PM me how much was the shift boot and the surrounding trim? I was thinking about getting something to put red stitched trim in that area, but wasn't sure where to start....and looks like you beat me to it a long time ago!

That's beautiful work. Thank you.

Yeah, I will have to ask Joe first as I got my stuff through sponsorship but as far as I remember shift boots are like $30-50 bucks

Here is what we can expect as far as pricing for the other parts in the cabin:
Headliner - 350
Wheel - 425
Door card inserts - 325 pair
Armrest - 45 no stitch 65 w/stitch
Knee brace - 85 pair
Dash - 650 plain, 950 stitched
Door tops - 250 plain, 325 stitched
Door bottoms - 375 pair
A pillars - 115 pair
B/c - 275 pair
Seats – 1350 pair
Shift boot - $65
Gauge pod covers - $65 per set
Steering wheel - $425
Center dash stack - $225
Instrument cluster hood - $150

But that's just the shift boot, what about the base? Only reason that held me back is that the stitch is white on OEM, so putting the boot only would look really weird.
