Very nice! Keep the emblem, I think it adds. Not too sure about the e-brake.

Thanks for the compliments and encouragement. 
I honestly wasn't sure if it looked ok or not. Sometimes you can get so wrapped up in a project that's it's difficult to step back for a new perspective.

I sure hope not! He can tell Pinocchio to keep his nose to himself, too!

Nice work. I did something similar with my console lid, armrests, and shifter boot. All of it came from a long leather jacket I thrift-store sourced for <$10. When I redid everything in carbon, it was a similar process.

Thanks again
I experimented with test pieces for a while before setting out to do this project, which helped a lot. I made this new e-brake piece in about 45 min this afternoon 
I still need to trim, skive and tuck in the end, but I think I like it 
Sorry for the bad pictures. I'll get some better shots in the daylight tomorrow.

I still need to smooth out the material and batting, but it's looking pretty good

Darn good work. Never realized there was so much good leather available at a thrift store.
I had to replace my gray leather dashboard due to sun damage so I pulled the leather off the old downward facing sections and applied it to my armrest inserts. It finally was successful, but I thought I'd be buying new ones it was so darn difficult. Maybe the leather was to husky or inflexible. But it really looks good and is a bit softer than black plastic.

Thanks again guys 
Here are a couple of quick shots. Unfortunately, the seats hide a lot of the work. Though, as a driver or passenger, you can see most of it

Would you do custom job for others' Boxster interior if asked?
