The Billetworkz Alcantara Starter Kit bundles a shift boot and e-brake boot for 2008-2014 STI. Here's exactly what's included and how it compares to the Ultimate kit.
Quick answer
The Billetworkz Alcantara Starter Kit for the 2008-2014 Subaru STI includes an Alcantara shift boot and an Alcantara e-brake boot. It's the two most-touched interior pieces, upgraded to a premium suede-like material.
Why Alcantara for the shift boot and e-brake boot?
Alcantara is a suede-like material used in performance and exotic cars. It feels softer and more upscale than the factory plastic or pleather, and it adds grip and a luxurious look to the two controls you use every time you drive.
Starter kit vs Ultimate kit: what's the difference?
The Starter kit covers the shift boot and e-brake boot. The Ultimate kit adds more pieces, such as a center console lid cover or door armrest covers, depending on the listing. If you want a fuller Alcantara transformation, the Ultimate kit is the next step; the Starter kit focuses on the highest-impact touchpoints.
