yeah i know what you are saying alex, i had leather in my gti.

leather need the occasional conditioning

but, cloth needs alot more, you have to be carefull of stains, and cloth eventually stretches and looks like ****. and my big complaint about cloth is it attracts too much dust.

i dont know, still contemplating the leather issue.

leather is hot when it's hot and cold when it's cold

i'm happy with the stock recaro's for now, but it'll be good to have some variety MY04

I have not heard any confirmation that there is going to be a leather option for MY 04. I would not get your hopes up.

I was thinking about re doing the centers in alcantara. I think it will give the recaros a richer look but will also allow them to be grippy. Does anyone have experience w/ alcantara on seats? How does it wear?

keep the cloth. Wait until the cloth wears out, then get the leather. That way you haven't put perfectly good recaro seat cloth to waste.
