Do you have plans at this point to try the door panels, center console, and a-pillars?

I'm going to try to cover every part I can if it will make it look better.

Thank you

Here's the Drivers side door accessory panel. When I originally bought my Camaro it had a lot of the panels painted gloss black. I really didn't like how it looked so I swapped the painted panels out with stock ebony ones. I just found the painted ones in my garage today so I figured I'd try to cover them in the leather, and what do you know, it worked great The second picture shows the passenger side painted panel next to the drivers side leather wrapped panel.

After I get all the panels that will be available to the public made, I will add them for purchase here: http://store.specializedstainless.com Until then, keep checking this thread for updates!

Thank you

Does the thickness of the leather affect the fitment of any of the panels that mate up to each other? like the window switch panel or like upper center console to lower center console? DOes it make any pieces bow out or not fit right?
