I love the idea and would probably try one out, but only if it covers the doors, front a-pillars, sail panels, rear deck panels, and possibly the hatch panels and door sill panels (alright that is basically EVERY plastic panel in the car!).

I would also really like the option for one to cover the dash, but I could see that getting expensive since a dash cover would need to be multiple pieces stitched together to look any good. It would also need a flap in it for the air bag. It can be done, and I would buy a complete kit like this for $300-$350 (seeing a decent dash cover is about $70.00 by itself).

Ok guys, sorry for the delay. I've got everything I need so I'm going to start on my interior and see how it comes out. Hopefully I'll have some pictures soon!

Here's the drivers side trunk panels wrapped in the leather. It came out great, and was easier than I thought it would be. It did take longer than I thought though... Now I've gotta let it sit for 72hrs then in the car it goes! Hopefully I can finish the rest of the pieces within a week

That came out better than I expected. Now this kit is for all interior panels including door and sail panels correct? Will you be posting pictures of those as well?

I can't tell you for sure what the kit includes until I'm done with my car. But don't worry, when it's on my web site for sale it will throughly describe the kit with lots of pictures

The "leather" is just glued to the interior piece, right? No foam (I think foam might make it look to bulky, but I don't know) ?

There's no cushion on the leather besides a material backing.

Yeah, no foam. It would be too bulky.

Don't know yet. I have to finish my car first so I can see the total amount of time and materials that go into it for a final price. I'm busy with Specialized Stainless orders right now but hopefully I can get some free time and finish the kit within a week
