Those small details....

I've been looking for a nice key fob cover for my key for some time and finally came across a seller on AliExpress that makes custom Alcantara covers to your choice.

I went for a black Alcantara with a red detail on the cover and red Alcantara interior within the keychain.

The quality is superb and should hopefully last a little longer than my Mont Blanc key fob which disintegrated after a short time.

A couple of months ago I bought one of these alcantata shift knob covers on e-bay and I actually like it quite a lot. Stays in place on its own with the shell it is built on, but comes with some double sided tape if you so choose.

Multiple sellers shipping from China, just search e-bay for G30 shift knob cover.

That looks very nice! I've seen those before but been dubious on the quality and fit.

Can you share any photos....???
