Default new interior

My interior door panels need to be replaced. I was thinking of covering the large vinyl areas with a faux leather. I thought this might spruce up the old cabin a little, the seats are leather etc. so why not the door panels.
What do you guys think? Cheesy? :confused:
Would it be really obvious that it was fake leather? I heard that the new stuff looks a lot better than what was out there years ago.

It is a charcoal grey interior. Should I change the color scheme on the doors?
Any ideas of combinations. :auto:
