trim options

Like everyone else I had the same scratched up ragged looking problem. I decided to cover all of the trim pieces (mirror covers, door pull covers, arm rests) with a soft lambskin leather. I went to the local thrift store and found a woman's coat in good condition and tried my hand at upholstery. I will post some pics later but I must say they turned out great and I like the softer texture on the touch parts.

As far as the console, it is a much more complex shape and you will need a fairly large piece of leather or get good at matching the seams which is tough to make look good. Carbon fiber for this piece seems too "modern" so I will probably paint the center as it is a high touch area and really prone to nicks and scrapes.
