Yeah, you pretty much summed it up. You get extra credit for attention to detail.
And to answer the question if it is leather or not, yes. Purchased it at a fabric store.

Yes I put it there because there was already a small hole here and i didn't have to cut on the car. Plus that defrost vent wasn't very effective anyway. It works great and was something i did just because i could. Same thing with the Iron Man Faceplate. Did it just because i could. I expained earlier that i was going to make several of these. It just gives the dash a little personality instead of the "stock look". If i wanted the stock look i wouldn't have changed my radio, wheels, tint, and so on. My little girl loves the faceplate and thats what matters to me. Dont believe for a minute that negative comments affect me negatively, i take it all in stride. I asked for comments and I got some, Thanks to everyone. I'm a grown *** man who has bigger things to worry about. My next bezel will have my little girls face paineted on it somehow, she will really love that.
