It's not hard. Get the leather you like (I bought off of eBay - I could tell from his pictures that the leather matched the factory leather doors really well) and cut it roughly to size. Spray heavy duty fabric adhesive on the back of the leather and the piece, let it tack up, and then work the two together. Once most of the adhesive has cured, wrap the edges, cutting slits now and then to relieve any bunching. Secure these with superglue. Be careful - as superglue ruins the finished surface of leather.

It took me about an hour to do each armrest piece.
