The leather is available from many places actually. Initially i got a kit from Specialized Stainless when he was running a group buy. But i needed more material because of doing more pieces. Then i found the same material from a fabric store near me for really reasonable.

As far as the center console i will get some more pics of it. As far as the work it was super easy. Some might say that it is rigged but the way i did it worked. Basically i used a can of gap filling foam insulation and filled the cup holder. Then i used duct tape and from the back side of the console i covered up the opening for the ash tray. Then filled it with the foam as well. Once it was all hardened i shaved it down and sanded it. Then i went back with some bondo and smoothed the entire thing down. I would say actual work time was around 45 min.

As far as the door panel colors i had considered doing the bottom section that goes over the speaker and has the pocket in Black as well but i did some mockup and i really liked the outcome.

Thanks for the comments everyone

The gray pocket/speaker surround is what caught my eye. It's now my favorite custom TA door panel...

The great part with the door panel is how cheap i got the greyish silver suede. It is micro suede from a local fabric shop and i caught it on sale for $4 a yard. So i purchased 5 yards which if anyone is familiar with material....thats alot. So $20 bucks invested in the suede for both doors, plus i have a shift boot made out of it....not sure if i am going to use it or not as of yet...have to wait and see it in the car.
