Leather Interior Panel Kit... Any Interest??
Damn you & your ideas Steve, LOL. I was just gettin ready to buy some material & do my entire interior minus the dash like this. I figure it'll be easier to just swap out a Ebony dash then try to cut, stitch & cover the dash. Especially around the vents.
Let me know how it works out for ya. I'll probably be buyin my material from a dealer here locally. They had pretty good pricing & my buddy is bringing me a extra set of sail panels, so they will be my test mules.
My friend that use to work @ a local stereo shop doin custom installs told me it's a little harder than it looks if you haven't ever attempted it before. So I trhink I'm gonna bribe him to help me. I wanna have mine done by December.

I would be interested, I tried to wrap some small inner pieces and it didn't work out too well. Don't get too thick of material or it will suck. Good luck and I hope it works out because I hate the plastic panels of my interior.

All in all if you wrap your own be prepared cause it's a major P.I.T.A. especially for a beginner. Thats why I'm gonna have help & not even attempt it alone. I have read enough about it I got it pretty much figured out, but I'd like to not wrap the same piece more than once bein a noob.
i would definitely do this, but i would also like the door panels, cuz my interior is clothe and i want to switch it out to leather soon. i want to see pics first, but everything looks good, then count me in!!

you should really show a finished product before you offer it. Youd get a whole lot more business if you also offered gray and tan choices. How do you know theres not enough interest? All you offered was ebony so its not like people are going to tell you theyre interested in tan or gray when all you offered was black or ebony. If i were you id spend a little capitol and wrap a car in ebony, a car in tan, and a car in gray. Itd be a small investment to really open up both yours and the customers options. This is one of the biggest problems with our cars and thousands of people would jump on this if you did it correctly and advertised up the ying yang.

Looks like there is enough interest so these will happen. I just need to get everything ordered. We're looking at probably 2-3 weeks. I'll keep you guys updated on the progress.
Thank you
Thank you
no man your doing a good job thats not what i meant. All i meant id your thinking too small with this. It could really blow up and as the originator you should seize the opportunity and make some money is all i meant. NO BODY makes a commercial leather wrap kit you could really make a killing. Maybe after ebony brings in all kinds of business you can do other colors and make a killing. And i didnt even know you already did the stainless stuff till i just looked. What an expansion that would be! I was just on your page im going to order some sails but i dont know what i want etched on them yet. Plus my cars still on its way from Massachusetts. Can you etch the door sills?
so is this gonna be just big pieces that are gonna cover the doors? and what else?
I mean it sounds good but im worried that its gonna look good but be strange. Im really looking for a finished full kit with lots of pics.
Steve Ive followed you on Z28.com and seen your work and Its really great
