So i got creative with leather/vinyl interior trim pieces

What you guys think?

There's the standard black



then i did some different colors







And then the gauge bezel. It was extreamly hard to do. The black one took me at least 6 tries to do and then it still kinda came out sketchy. But this bezel has to be in almost in 2 parts. You can see the small slit i had to make just about the sterring wheel whole.



The tan one i did afterwards, and turned out much better. But i still had to make a small slit just above the steering wheel hole

The white/tan ones gross me out because they look like tooth enamel, but holy crap can you cover things in leather/vinyl! Are you a professional?

How is this done?

So how did you do this? I'd like to do something similar after I get my seats redone in two tone leather. I've always hated the plastic interior and that looks great!

Yeah, how did you do that? It looks professional. Excellent work. The console lid would be cool if you matched it with a custom shift boot. Wonder if you could cover our hideous parking brake handle?

That neutral color looks great, it looks like factory install, much better than red or something that hurts your eyes, please tell us how you did that..
