Those are like Karo mats, where did you get them from? I had Karo Sisal mats in my S2000 and loved them.
Hey, I got them directly from cocomats.com during their Black Friday sale.

I’m not OP, but they got them directly from cocomats. They’re especially popular with the Porsche crowd.
I'm not a fan of the look. The mats skew retro/classic and it looks a bit out of place in the FL5.

Yeah it’s not for everyone for sure, and agreed that it skews heavily towards the classic/retro vibe. Having said that, I had em in my MK7 Golf R and loved them.

Golfs also came with plaid seats.

I know what you mean, but to me the checker Sisal style is more JDM than retro/classic, it depends on how you view it I guess :)

You think removing the bumper would've made the job easier? I'm installing a new lip soon and taking off the bumper was a bit tedious because of the headlight clips so I would prefer to avoid it lol

I doubt it would since it looses its form and make it difficult to align.

Installed Honda's alcantara wheel and couldn't be happier! Very easy install as far as steering wheels go, assuming you have the tools to easily remove the main steering wheel bolt. The stock "leather" wheel is fine but I feel this wheel suits the car's personality better and is more comfortable to hold and use.

Looks good. If you daily the car, buy a suede cleaning kit so you can maintain it.

When I had my GT350R, It came with an alcantara wheel stock. The best method that I found for cleaning the wheel was to get a clean wash cloth about 6X6 or so and wet it thoroughly. Put it in the microwave for about 40 or 50 seconds and remove with some tongs. Put on gloves and twist/rub the towel into the alcantara as hard as you can all around the wheel. let dry and it will keep the wheel brand new for ever. I did this once a month just because I could. If you use a white wash cloth, it will astonish you how much dirt comes out. Of course you could use a cleaner but this method worked the best for me. If you let it go for a couple of months after typical daily driving, the top of the wheel feels like crushed oreos in your hands.
