What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I did not want to do that for the console as I didn't have enough leather anyway.



Ultimately I decided to use the same nano-covering (C-Quartz) I did on the door thresholds which has held up really well. So...with a long three day weekend, why not. I stripped all of the coating off with hot water, alcohol and a lot of green scrubbing pads. Once cleaned it leaves a nice textured surface although it is a bit plasticky. However, no more sticky and it's very scratch resistant.

Looks sooo much better! When you covered the other bits with leather, how did you glue it down? I'm about to do my door pockets.

CBRacerX,

I just bought a lambskin leather jacket from the thrift store for $5. I used the standard contact cement in the small brown colored bottle from Lowes/Home Depot. I di not use any felt or backing but just cleaned the pieces the same was as the console and then carefully covered. Photos attached and very pleased with results.

Thanks, I have very thin lambskin ready to use. Did you apply the contact cement to to both surfaces and wait for it to skin over? Or just to the part you were putting the leather on?

Did this over the weekend to the door pocket covers. A little soft black lambskin, some contact cement, a little patience and viola! Looks and feels great. Next up is the plastic covers near the door handles.
