For $700 I'd expect the finish to be a bit better. The alcantara isn't even stretched all the way so there's ripples in it. That'd annoy the shit out of me
Like I said above, once it warms up I will be able to adjust it to get the wrinkles out. It needs to be able to sit outside in the sun to make the material more pliable so that it can be stretched out.

This.

When we ship this, it is rolled up and packaged so that it does not get damaged one bit. When you unroll it, it may be wrinkled and as Sam pointed out, may need a little heat from a heat gun to get them out. God forbid a little work be needed from the customer. I'm sure you've done more with other parts you've purchased if you've modded your S at all.

Spent some time pulling and stretching the headliner this afternoon so here's some updated pics...







Almost all the wrinkles have gone now, I'm sure if I spent a little more time they'd all disappear. It's just attached with heavy duty velcro, so all it takes is a little rearranging and it fits much better.

I paid around $700 but I also had them put the sound deadening on the back side, Asura is running the group buy now and they do have cheaper options.
I can think of many better things to spend $700 on! To each his own though, does add a nice touch. I think a can of spray glue and some suede from the fabric store would be a much more practical option though.. IMO
